Examining the word gods in the translation of ancient Iranian inscriptions

The word gods in ancient Iranian inscriptions
The word gods in ancient Iranian inscriptions

Unfortunately, I witnessed the abuse of some people regarding the translations of inscriptions (Translation of the word "bag".:Gods, gods) We are, so we decided to collect an article with the focus of this issue

What is the meaning of the gods in ancient Iranian and Achaemenid inscriptions?

came ancient Iranian How many gods did they believe in?

Are Iranians like Greeks How many gods have they worshiped?

If you are looking for answers to these questions, follow this article

In most of the inscriptions that have been translated, the names of the gods appear next to the name of Ahura Mazda, which can be interpreted as Necessary care has not been used in the translation of this section. It seems that this section is also present in other Achaemenid inscriptions, which simply says that the great god is Ahuramazda..

The important thing here is who is the creator and creator, and has anyone other than him been introduced as the creator?!

The word that is translated as the name of God in these texts is actually the same (Bug) Is! It should be noted that the same word that we refer to as God in its original meaning (Server) has given (This issue is obvious in the verses of the Shahnameh). What is important to the only God is that he is the creator. The one who created the earth, sky and people. Do other gods or other gods have such attributes in Achaemenid inscriptions?!

Or are they all created by Ahura Mazda?! As far as the Achaemenid inscriptions tell us, Ahura Mazda is the only creator.

Gods in the Achaemenid era and maybe after that «Gods» In the following ages, they were something like angels or Ahl al-Bayt in our current thought. Special creatures that have remarkable characteristics, but the creator and creator was only the great god, Ahura Mazda, who created everything.. "Bag" refers to the same beings, or in other words, spiritual and abstract beings, things like angels and… He points out that a lot has been learned from them in the religion of Islam. such as the descent of angels and souls, Gabriel and… God himself is a spiritual being.

So with this argument, friends(Knowing God as God the Creator)Not only Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians are not monotheists, but we Shiites are not monotheists either, because we value the Ahl al-Bayt and seek help from them.!!! Or we consider angels to be beings that are involved in our worldly affairs, for example, two angels, one on our left and the other on our right, who record our actions.!! If this is not the case, then the gods or in the usual translations of the gods after Ahura Mazda are not the creator gods.

Of course, we should not forget that it seems that in Behdini's later and more recent texts, Ahriman is also introduced as the creator of evil.. But in fact, this demon is the destroyer of Ahura Mazda's creations. Again, we should not forget that when we look at more authentic texts such as the Gathas, it seems that the demon himself was created by Ahura Mazda, and the only creator of Ahura Mazda is introduced.. The important point is that these religious people have been accepted as people of the book with these later and newer ideas.

In short, if we want to discuss from the point of view of the Wahhabis, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, yes, the Achaemenids were not monotheists, they were a handful of infidels that we should kill with suicide operations.!! But if we examine the word "Beg" more closely and also consider the time parameters for the issues as well as things like the creator, we find that they were monotheists and considered the Great God to be beyond everything and the only creator and creator of Giti..

We should not expect that the verses of the Quran were written in Achaemenid inscriptions thousands of years ago!!!

Finally, let me say this until we reach the word gods. Perhaps under the influence of western researchers and the space they have created for us, our minds go to the conditions of gods in ancient Greece and Rome.!! Indeed, there was a great difference between the beliefs of Iranians and Greeks in that era. Iranian pagans are different from the Greek gods from the earth to the sky. If you pay attention, each of the western gods is the creator of something and there is no single creator. If Zeus is bigger than the others, he is actually more powerful than the others and has managed to bring the others under his command.

Thank you and goodbye

Greetings and don't be tired, thank you very much for your good content. In my opinion, kings used to introduce themselves as kings, in the sense that, as my good compatriot pointed out, as a sign of respect for other kings, they consider themselves superior and use the word gods as well. Most of the meanings of the inscriptions are said like this:Ahura Mazda, who is the greatest of all gods, Ahura Mazda is the god of gods, this is a form of respecting the opinions of others and emphasizing that Ahura Mazda is the absolute and only god of existence.. We have to learn from your information now and then. You really have a very good and useful site. I can boldly say that you are the second site in cyberspace where your historical content is written based on facts and logic, and most importantly, it is managed by culturally literate people.. I said this sincerely and without any exaggeration. I wish you more and more success, and I wish health, love and happiness for all my dear compatriots, and the eternal pride of our dear country, Iran.

I guess using the word gods (Whether it is translated correctly or not) In the inscriptions of ancient Iran, there can be respect towards other tribes who worship multiple gods, so that by observing this respect from monotheists towards their beliefs, it creates a sense of understanding of the one God in them, and they use good language and not By force, they realize that idols are nothing but stone and dirt, and maybe to understand the essence and existence of the only existence., Become a monotheist.
Like when Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon and returned their idols to their place and returned the Jews to their land and saved the people from the tyranny of the kings and priests of the temple and… When the people of Babylon see Cyrus's respect for their beliefs, while he worships the only God and does not face any compulsion to follow the only God, it may cause people to spontaneously want to know this God, and if If they are wise enough, they may turn to God alone.
If this translation means ” gods ” Be it right or wrong and with a conspiracy to mislead (That is) Again, it cannot hide the main concept and conveys the concept of monotheism in its heart.
