Investigating the influence of pre-Manic religions on Manism

Mani was an ancient prophet in the land of Babylon who lived in the territory of the Parthian and Sassanid Iranian states and was descended from the Parthian kings on his mother's side. He was born at the end of the Parthian dynasty and experienced his childhood until his death in the Sassanid era in this city. Mani was born in a place that had the right conditions and contexts to bring a comprehensive and universal religion, and after his studies and travels to different lands and regions, he claimed that he was inspired and pretended that he was a prophet. The end of time has been chosen. Mani brought a religion that was derived from the religions and sects before him such as Zarvan, Mehr, Zoroastrian, Christ, Buddha, Sabai and some other examples and by examining these religions, this truth is revealed to us that Mani's religion is a religious religion and It is a compilation that the founder of any religion that traveled to the region of its followers such as India, Asia Minor and other places, or his supporters and missionaries stepped into its territory and intended to attract its followers to their religion, the principles or included a subsidiary. The intended research is also based on the existing evidences and similarities of Manoism with religions, religions and monotheistic and non-monotheistic differences before it.
