The myth and story of the creation of ancient Iran in the Sassanid Symbols and carvings

One of the main characteristics of Iran at the beginning of the Sasanian rule was the close alliance between religion and government to maintain unity in the country. The consolidation of the foundations of power by religion and the development of religion by the political and military forces of the country has been one of the pillars of the Sassanid founders. At that time, religion and religious leadership had a major role in many political, cultural and even artistic currents. Sassanid artists, inspired by the knowledge of Zoroastrian priests and the book of Avesta, in which religion and myth have always been combined, in combining and carving Sassanid inscriptions and reliefs, combined mythical symbols with historical images. They were extremely careful that the combination of religion and myth be manifested in the form of symbols and signs in historical narratives. This close communication, both physically and physically, as well as culturally and spiritually, belongs to the ancient Iranian myths. In this research based on analytical and descriptive approach; The decorations, symbols and carvings of Taq-e Bostan were studied in the form of religious and mythological ideas and it was concluded that the Sassanid art of Taq-e Bostan in the form of a symbol and symbol engraved on it is the manifestation and reflection of the myths of creation in the religious beliefs of ancient Iran.
