A Fabulous Narrative of a Semi-Anonymous Myth of Pre-Historic Era in the Iranian Plateau

Abstract:

An amalgamation of ancient mythological and linguistic features from Ghabrestan Tepe، this article is disposed to introduce some of the oldest findings especially about the then prevailing myths. It can possibly be said that the oldest motifs carved by men، on bones، stones or on cave walls have been the depictions of myths related to Homo sapiens; however، even after the lapse of thousands of years، it is still impossible to find the main tenets they actually tried to narrate through those depictions. Unfortunately، we have to admit that، even the use of modern methods، doesn’t help us to reach to those stories that are much warped and deformed. This article، tries to carry، what has remained from some later version of the myths، backwards in time and، by focusing on a pottery design، uncover what once has been a mythological and significant narrative. Perhaps this had been a well-known mythological story narrated in religious and domestic circles.
