In the archaeological Cultural history, ancient Persia belongs to the cultural region of Mesopotamia, that is, the cultural region of West Asia today. Archaeologists' research has shown that in ancient times, ancient Persians and ancient Aryans originally belonged to a branch of the Indo European language family, and their settlements were in present-day southern Russian grasslands. Because of the special geographical and natural environment of the grassland, the ancient Persians and ancient Aryan relied on nomadism to maintain their lives. With the passage of time, it gradually divided into Persia Aryan and India Aryan, which directly affected the formation of Ethnic religion and myth tradition.

In 2000 BC, the ancient Persians gradually got rid of the nomadic lifestyle and had early religious activities. In the religious activities at that time, what the ancient Persians respected most was an ancient and mysterious ritual, which was essentially a primitive worship of nature. In the face of natural disasters, the ancient Persians felt at a loss. They not only had no way to cope, but also had deep fear. This made the ancient Persians desperately need a belief to eliminate their inner fear, so the oldest protector god in Persian mythology came into being. Because the ancient Persians believed that all disasters and gifts in the world were controlled by the gods in the sky. If they found a suitable protective god, and kept offering sacrifices to him, and prayed piously, they could avoid all disasters and live a carefree life.

After the birth of the protection god, some legends about the protection god also began to appear. The ancient Persians gradually spread various legends about the protection god in oral form to various places. When the legend of God spread orally in various places, this primitive form of communication was quickly broken due to the emergence of words. The appearance of characters made the ancient Persians find another way to record the legends of gods. At the same time, with the development of primitive civilization, they carved some divine images on various artifacts, or painted the stories of gods on rock walls in primitive painting forms, and even used simple methods to shape the images of gods and enshrined them in the halls. The ancient Persians, regardless of whether they met with natural disasters or not, all attributed to the role of protecting the gods. They believed that in the divine realm inaccessible to ordinary people, there were gods who ruled the human world and created everything in the world. Driven by this idea, more and more worshipped gods came to the life of ancient Persians, and the system of Persian mythology gradually became complete.

In the sixth century BC, Persians Zoroaster founded Zoroaster, whose doctrines proposed Monotheism and Dualisms. The only god that Zoroaster worships is the great good god Ahura Mazda, whose enemy is the evil god Dev. There is always a struggle between the good god and the evil god.
In Persian history, with the emergence and maturity of Zoroaster, the struggle between good and evil became more and more fierce. Because Zoroaster advocates Dualisms, its doctrine is to divide all things in the world into opposite dualities, including good and evil, light and dark. Therefore, in Persian mythology, there was a war between Ahura, the supreme good god, and Angela, the supreme evil god, who represents light and justice. The war between them lasted for a full three thousand years. In this war, the supreme good god Ahura Mazda created everything in the world, and finally defeated the supreme evil god Angela Manuel.
With the help of the primitive Kaiyumorzi, the first man in the world created by Ahura Mazda, the supreme god of good, established the world-famous Persian kingdom and became the first king.

While creating all things in the world, Ahura Mazda also created six good spirits, including Vohumana, Asha Vaishta, Khshatra Vairiya, Ameretat, Haurvatat and Spenta Armaiti.
