- Igam
Igam is a small area in what is now
Afghanistan just west ofSanginah . Named by thePersian Empire during the reign ofDeioces (728BC-675BC). Considered to be a Holy site for a prophetic theories, Deioces built a shrine in 719BC to the honor of "IGAM". IGAM, was prophesied by Zoroaster (Around 1200BC).Zoroaster believed these 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 the FatherSebastien Michaelis .During the rule of
Astyages (585BC - 550BC) the shrines and the temples were destroyed. IGAM has long vanished into the regions folklore. Its only resurfacing seems to be coincidental.External links
