Thanks for the response! Towers of silence: ancient zoroastrian burial structures

devas/asuras: divine entities in both hindu and zoroastrian culture, except our gods and demons are switched around from each other.

    Sorry I know as an Iranian I should know more about Zoroastrian (زرتشتی) but actually don't know much about it

    It's completely understandable, we're hoarding all the zoroastrians in India after all. Still, I would've thought that something of pre-islamic culture would've survived in the folklore of the common people.

    Do you know of any such legends?

    Edit: such as your name. Merlin the wizard/mage. Mage from Magi. Magi from the ancient persian Magus. Magus meaning learned ones, the ones we called the priests of fire/priests of Sun in India.

    This is really cool. As an Iranian I'm ashamed I will have to expand my knowledge on this. Thank you
