Religious insight of primitive human, embodied the higher powers of earth and sky in the female origin of the universe which afterwards this origin became the great basis of primary mother, people circled around her and worshiped her.

Myth is a kind of interpretation of universe which comes with the form of stories about gods, angles and Amshaspandan, a holy fate which really has happened and now in a form of imagination and symbol, talks about how things came into existence or annihilated.
