However, the god Mithras/Mitra killed Geush Urvan, resulting in its power transferring to the heavens, belonging to the Gods (this shift from Earth-based power to Sky/Heaven-based power is an archetypal switch found all over Old World religious mythology/history. This story has the hallmarks of one religion coming in and overwriting another). The corpse of Geush Urvan then transformed into every type of animal and plant found on the Earth. Geush Urvan is Persian for "soul of the bull/ox/cow". de:Geush Urvan
