  • Hey RUclips, Jim here! Welcome to Top10Archive! Ancient Persia is a land shrouded in mystery and mythology, filled with fantastical tales of grotesque giants, sly fiends and ruthless beasts that many believed once roamed the land of modern-day Iran. We’re digging deep into texts of Persian mythology to catalog the top ten creatures from Persian mythology, monsters that can be so truly terrifying that you’ll be glad that they don’t actually exist.

    Great video!
    I think Zahak can also be part of the old persian monsters. He overthrew the king and became the Shah of Persia. Then Ahriman (Satan) kissed his shoulders. And two giant snakes were born on each shoulder. The snakes were hungry and their only food was young human brains. So Zahak commanded his soldiers to bring two young person each day from anywhere in the empire and he would feed his snakes their brains. For years and years he continues distroying the younger generation of persia. Eventually a Blacksmith called Kaveh, who has lost all his 18 sons to Zahaks snakes, found the rightful heir of the throne and they gathered an army and captured and overthroned Zahak.

    I think i read somewhere that in Greek mythology Persians are decended from a greek god named Perseus which is son of Zeus. There is also a similar thing in Persian mythology that i think is intresting:
    In Persian mythology everything starts with creation of the world and the first king called "Kiomars"
    There is a also an evil named Ahriman which fights with Kiomars and Ahriman's war continues with sons of Kiomars after his death. The last king who ruled over earth (the known world) was Fereidoon, He had 3 sons: Iraj, Tur, Salm. After Fereidoon's death his sons go into conflict about who should rule the empire and empire splits in 3 kingdoms. Iran(Iraj as the king), Rum(Salm as the king), Turan(Tur as the king) and they go into endless conflicts. In Persian mythology Turks/Chinese/People with Asian eyes feature are descendeds of Tur and Romans/Greeks are descendeds of Salm.

      With lots of respect to Greek culture , I should say Greek methulogy copied from Persia , Persian methulogy is much older than Greek
