The beginnings of fire-worship. The ancient Aryans of Persia offered sacrifices at altars tended by fire-kindling priests known as athravan, this led to the worship of the sacrifical flame itself, the only point of the ancient ritual preserved by Zoroaster in his reforms. From Hutchinson's History of the Nations, published 1915.
