It is generally believed by a majority of scholars that Turruism as a faith was practiced before 8000-6000 BCE, the approximate timespan which it is believed [[Proto-Azkali language|Proto-Azkali]] as a language was spoken. Evidence for this can be found in temples and artifacts recovered across the Ukilen, Brausian, and partially the [northern] continents which are broadly similar to contemporary Turruist design, though it is argued by some that said temples an artifacts may have been created by peoples following other religions. Paleo-Ukilenic temples have been noted to share several similarities in doctrine, and the design of religious sites, which supports the notion that the presence of temples with Turruist design characteristics is not proof enough to claim an ancient origin for Turruism. Many researchers, including the late [[Hagnatal Reiko]], have posited a concrete relationship between Paleo-Ukilenic religions and Turruism, a hypothesis referred to as the [...] theory. | It is generally believed by a majority of scholars that Turruism as a faith was practiced before 8000-6000 BCE, the approximate timespan which it is believed [[Proto-Azkali language|Proto-Azkali]] as a language was spoken.

Regardless, Turruism had a wide geographic range in which it was followed at least starting around 4800 BCE, which is when the earliest Turruist temple still being used in worship, the [[Sechemearua temple (Pordmisktpelha)|Sechemearua]] temple in [[Pordmisktpelha]], was created. About a hundred years later, in 4700 BCE, the oldest temple still within the boundaries of [[Azkali]], the [[Chekearuatzatan temple (Chekearoa)|Chekearuatzatan]] temple in modern day Chekearoa, was constructed. The oldest piece of Azkali text that has been found, the [[Complaint letter to Merwa|Merwa complaint]], mentions temples that are described as ancient, and since the Merwa letter has been dated to around 5000 BCE, the possibility of older temples than the Sechemearua temple has generally been accepted by most scholars.[[File:Steel bridge structure and construction of the metal arch bridge, direction NEMO Science Center over the Oosterdok water under a blue sky.

Turruist theology is profoundly polytheistic, with the Atuskireka alone featuring a pantheon of twenty-seven deities. In Turruist theology, there is a hierarchy of deities based on the family tree of the deities, featuring three "levels": the first level, the ''Anata Itungiana'', solely consists of ''Mari'', the creator of the universe''.'' The second level, the ''Anata Sarigezalairrana,'' solely consists of Ari, a mortal Kali male who married Mari and was deified as a result. The last level, the ''Anata Iriuti'', consists of the rest of the deities, of which it is believed are the offspring of Mari and Ari. | Turruist theology is profoundly polytheistic, with the Atuskireka alone featuring a pantheon of twenty-seven deities.
