From it, readers can appreciate the great talents of the sun god and his descendants, as well as understand Egyptian customs, landmarks, and wisdom, thereby expanding knowledge and broadening horizons. The Persian Myths The stories collected in this book are ancient myths and legends that have been passed down for a long time in Iran. The languages used to record these myths and legends are all very old, and the Iranian people no longer use them today. After the Arabs took over Iran, Zoroastrianism was replaced by Islam, and most of the ancient Persian scriptures were lost in warfare. As a result, the old myths and legends were gradually forgotten by people.
