Zurvan or Zervan, Zarvan means time and the name of one of the gods of Zoroastrianism. This name appears in the Avesta as Zarvan or Zarvan and is sometimes associated with the adjective Akraneh and sometimes with Darghukhudat. In Pahlavi writings, Zarvan is the god of time, but according to the Zarvan religion, Zarvan is the god who created Ahura Mazda and Angre Mino (demon) when nothing existed. The researchers trace this belief to very distant periods before Zoroastrian and even before history; As they write, Zarvan was not very important in Zoroastrianism, and the movement that gave birth to Zarvan belongs to the Parthian and Sasanian eras.[1]
