Ilyan

Ilyan

Igam is a small area in Afghanistan just west of Sanginah. Named by the Persian Empire during the reign of Deioces (728 BC - 675 BC). Considered to be a holy site for prophetic theories, Deioces built a shrine in 719 BC in honor of "Igam". Igam was prophesied by Zoroaster (around 1200 BC).

Zoroaster believed that stars would descend unto Earth and sleep in the womb of a woman. He went even as far as to describe the Earthly parents of the prophetic stars. That they would descend into woman and be born as children. Unto Leviathan and a Scion. The accounts were later written about by Father Sebastien Michaelis.Fact|date=March 2008

During the rule of Astyages (585 BC - 550 BC) the shrines and the temples were destroyed. Igam has long vanished into the region's folklore. Its only resurfacing seems to be coincidental.Fact|date=March 2008
