1:4
“The Wise Lord first formed creation in the spiritual state, bright as white fire: not yet wounded, not yet divided, every good possibility held together without decay.”

What is history and what is fiction?
Sacred traditionTraditional religious material; historical dating and narrative form remain distinct.
Historical anchor
The systematic creation account is preserved most fully in later Middle Persian works such as the Bundahišn, which contain material connected to older Avestan traditions. It begins with Ohrmazd in pure light, Ahriman in darkness, and a void between them.
Fiction boundary
The poetic dialogue, imagery, and narrative sequence are modern retellings. They are not presented as a translation of the Bundahišn or as the recoverable wording of an ancient scripture.
