It was found before the 6th century BCE in Persia(Iran).The role and purpose of all creation is to sustain and strengthen the order. It can be achieved through good thinking, good words, good deeds.

In Zoroastrian cosmogony, water and fire are respectively the second and last primordial elements to have been created, and scripture considers fire to have its origins in the waters. Both water and fire are considered to be life-sustaining and both water and fire are represented within the precinct of a fire temple. Zoroastrians usually pray in the presence of some form of fire . Fire is considered a medium through which spiritual insight and wisdom is gained, and water is considered the source of that wisdom.
