Historical Underpinnings
First people to invent written language. The proposed type site is Konar Sandal, near Jiroft in the Halil River area. Other significant sites associated with the culture include; Shahr-i Sokhta (Burnt City), Tepe Bampur, Espiedej, Shahdad, Iblis, and Tepe Yahya. There is scholarly speculation that this kingdom may be the remains of an even earlier civilization located in the land of Aratta for which the Mountain of Ararat is a namesake. Tal-i-Iblis culture, known as Ali Abad period (fourth millennium BC) was revealed by Joseph R. Caldwell, American archaeologist.
Mythological Overlay
Chaos was more of a process than an typical anthropomorphic god. This hermaphroditic god was a watery dark directionless mass in which flourished the Ogdoad (primordial entities) which possessed within itself the characteristics male and female and demonstrated a propensity for (but not actual differentiation of) duality in nature. According to Egyptian mythology this god had several names: Nun/Naunet (water), Amen/Amaunet (invisibility), Heh/Hauhet (infinity) and Kek/Kauket (darkness).
The role that Nun plays in the generations of mankind is varied depending on the source. The cult of Ra believed that Amen transforming himself as Ra (the sun God) by rising out of the waters of Nun to stand upon the primeval mound (Benben). The Aten cult taught that Shu/Tefnut made a journey to speak the word of Ptah to the waters of Nun, where upon Amen arose as Ra from the waters of Nun to walk with legs (benben) upon the dry land. In still another myth Ra goes in search of Shu and Tefnut and upon finding them cries with joy and from his tears are created the first humans. In the cult of Ma the tears first fall upon the earth to create a tree from whose roots the first humans spring.
It is interesting to note the similarity between this later myth (the Cult of Ma) and the corresponding Zoroastrian myth which states that a tree was planted in the garden which was both male and female (Gayomart) and a serpent bit it causing it to die. From its roots sprang the first man and woman. This myth is perpetuated in the Hebrew tradition (among the descendants of Abraham) where it is transformed into the familiar Adam and Eve story that is familiar to all Christians. Oddly, there are passages in the scriptures of the Muslims which, while not contradicting the story of Adam, bears a remarkable similarity to the earlier myth cycle of an androgynous being that was differentiated into two genders.
Among the arabs. The name Jinn refers literally to "that which is not seen" or the invisible ones. An other name for Jinn is Amen (Lit: invisible). In the mythology of Islam, the Jinn are created by Allah from the fire. At first this may seem to be a contradiction, however in the thinking of modern science Life was created from the primordial water through the agency of fire (Lightning and vulcanism).
Mythology of his Offspring
According to the creation myth as described in the Bundahishn, Ohrmuzd's (Ahura Mazda) sixth creation is the primeval beast Gayomart (Gayamarətan), that was neither male nor female. Ahriman (Angra Mainyu), the Spirit of Evil that dwelt in the Absolute Darkness, sought to destroy all that Ohrmuzd had created, and sent the demoness Jeh (Jahi) to kill Gayomard. In this she was successful, but the moon (Mah) captured his seed before the animal died, from which all animal life then grew. From Gayomard's corpse grew a tree, the seeds of which were the origin of all plant life, and from the branches of which grew Mashya and Mashyana. They promised to aid Ohrmuzd in his battle with Ahriman, and gave birth to fifteen sets of twins which scattered around the Earth and became the races of mankind.
On a More Human Note
According to Zoroastrian Scriptural (versus Mythological) texts Keyumars was the first King of the World upon emergence from the caves and a descendant of the Legendary Jamshied who saved humanity from destruction during the great Ice Age.
Memory of this King may have been handed down in Judeo-Christian tradition as Michael the Archangel.
