History of Faravahar Symbol
When Zarathustra(Zoroaster) introduced Zoroastrianism as one religion to unite the ancient civilizations of the Persian empire (The part which is called the Middle East today and also some parts of today’s Africas and Asian countries), they already had thousands of years of history of ancient civilizations known to them.
He, and later his followers, to create harmony and peace in the ancient world, merged some known symbols and deities to those nations, such as Anahita, the goddess of the water in Mithraism, and the God Ashur, etc., into the Zoroastrian religion.
