Origins of the Saoshyant – Article 2 By eFireTemple A Sacred Stillness Beneath the Sand To understand the Saoshyant, we must return—not to the sky this time, but to the Earth. To the hidden waters of Lake Hamun , in the cradle of ancient Sistan. It is here, the Avesta tells us, that the seed of Zarathustra was placed.
