| description | Myths are truth-based narratives that exist in most nations with a lot of similarities and, of
course, with minor differences. These stories are studied for recognition of the opinions,
beliefs and the culture of a horde. Since the late nineteenth century, mythology has been
recognized as one of the branches of science. In many tribes such as ancient Iran, the belief
of vegetation of human and animals can be seen. The mythology of creation is based on the
contrast between the noble Ahuraei and the devilish evil forces. At first, Ahuramazda creates
all the universes in health and perfection; sky, water, earth, plant, animal and human.
Ahriman attacks these creatures and causes illness and death. Ahouramazda, rose up to
contradict and the plant grew up from mythical cattle organs and Mashya and Mashyaneh
also grew up from Kiomars sperm. These materials can be traced and examined from three
perspectives of first-hand sources such as Bun-Dahišn, Vazidagiha-i-Zaddisparam, etc.,
mythological sources and later research. According to these sources, and with a look at the
myths of creation in ancient Persia, the creation of animals and humans from the vegetation
can be deduced. In ancient Persia, like many other tribes, there existed a belief of creation
of humans and animals from plants. |
