[| Judeo-Christian Japheth][Zoroastrian Japheth]In the second chapter of the Vendidad of the Avesta, the omniscient Creator Ahura Mazda asks Yima, a good shepherd, to receive his law and bring it to men. However, Yima refuses, and so Ahura Mazda charges him with a different mission: to rule over and nourish the earth, to see that the living things prosper. This Yima accepts, and Ahura Mazda presents him with a golden seal and a dagger inlaid with gold.
Yima rules as king for three hundred years, and soon the earth was full of men, flocks of birds and herds of animals. He deprived the daevas, who were demonic servants of the evil Ahriman, of wealth, herds and reputation during his reign. Good men, however, lived lives of plenty, and were neither sick nor aged. Father and son walked together, each appearing no older than fifteen. Ahura Mazda visits him once more, warning him of this overpopulation. Yima, shining with light, faced southwards and pressed the golden seal against the earth and boring into it with the poniard, says "O Spenta Armaiti, kindly open asunder and stretch thyself afar, to bear flocks and herds and men."
The earth swells and Yima rules for another six hundred years before the same problem occurred once more. Once again he pressed the seal and dagger to the earth and asked the ground to swell up to bear more men and beasts, and the earth swells again. Nine hundred years later, the earth was full again. The same solution is employed, the earth swelling again.
The next part of the story tells of a meeting of Ahura Mazda and the Yazatas in Airyanem Vaejah, the first of the "perfect lands". Yima attends with a group of "the best of mortals", where Ahura Mazda warns him of an upcoming catastrophe: "O fair Yima, son of Vivaŋhat! Upon the material world the evil winters are about to fall, that shall bring the fierce, deadly frost; upon the material world the evil winters are about to fall, that shall make snow-flakes fall thick, even an arədvi deep on the highest tops of mountains."
Ahura Mazda advises Yima to construct a Vara (Avestan: enclosure) in the form of a multi-level cavern underground, two miles (3 km) long and two miles (3 km) wide. This he is to populate with the fittest of men and women; and with two of every animal, bird and plant; and supply with food and water gathered the previous summer. Yima creates the Vara by crushing the earth with a stamp of his foot, and kneading it into shape as a potter does to clay. He creates streets and buildings, and brings nearly two thousand people to live therein. He creates artificial light, and finally seals the Vara with a golden ring.
This myth could very well be the origin of the myths of Atlantis. The name of the land in which they Jamshied dwells is called Airyanem Vaejah. Or Kingdom of the Blessed which the Greeks referred to as the Islands of the Blessed and which lay beyond the Pillar of Hercules.
Adam the first man in this myth referred to as Yima is asked to become the steward over all living things. This he does willingly and mankind prospers. After several hundred years the earth becomes overpopulated. Yima uses the power of the sun (his golden seal) to expand the land by melting the glaciers and exposing new territories. This cycle of overpopulating and expanding continues unchecked for several dispensations until at last God warns Yima (Man) that a catastrophy is about to occur with the onset of a new glacial age. And in order to save himself and mankind as well as plant life and animals he is to build a cave...or box... in which he takes two of every plant and creature to escape the impending doom.
This later story bears a strong resemblance to the story of Noah... except that in Noah's case the cave is an ark and the destruction will be by flood (i.e. deglaciation).
Note: According to the Shāhnāma of the poet Firdausī, Jamshid was the fourth king of the world. Inheritance patterns in the Shahnama of Zoroastrian tradition illustrate a pattern of kingly inheritance that passes from Father to Granddaughter's Husband. He had command over all the angels and demons of the world, and was both king and high priest of Hormozd (middle Persian for Ahura Mazda). As his people prospered he grew in pride until he began to boast that he was as great as God. A Vassal King (Malik Aži Dahāka) rose up against him and persued him and his heirs to the ends of the earth (The islands of the sea and the worlds of snow and ice). After a Dyastic reign lasting seven hundred years, humanity descended from the heights of civilization back into a Dark Age.
In the records of Sumeria, Japheth (Yima Xšaēta) is mentioned by the name [| Amar-sin] and was intrumental in rebuilding many of the buildings that were destroyed in the Shupurak flood. One building in particular a Ziggurat at Eridu is thought to have been the original site of the Tower of Babel. As High Priest of the Temple, Amar-sin appointed his nephew Malakhyozadak.
