In Persian mythology, the universe was not created to be free—it was created to contain evil.

In this episode of GL Deep Dives, we explore a radical mythological idea born in ancient Persia: that existence itself is a carefully engineered battleground designed to trap and exhaust darkness. Rooted in Zoroastrian thought, Persian mythology presents reality as a moral structure where time, matter, and humanity are weapons in a cosmic war.

We examine the divine hierarchy, the struggle between Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, the role of human choice, and the belief that evil is not eternal—but doomed to be defeated through order, truth, and endurance.

This is mythology as cosmic engineering—a universe built with purpose, limits, and an endgame.

A prison not for humanity…
 but for evil itself.
