Abstract

The origin of the new  Iranian tribes originates in the common proto-Indo-European and Aryan era, who lived on a region known as the Pontic-Caspian and Kazakhastan (the Andronovo culture belongs to the Indo-Iranian tribes), and we can find out to their common heritage in spite of their separation from each other during several millennia. In this essay, it has tried to trace one of the old Indo-European beliefs in the Lur tribes who enumerate one of the noblest Iranian ones. On this score, it is compared the fire rituals among Indo-European and Indo-Iranians with those of fire among the Lurs. Having searched the rituals among lurs, we found the same rituals as the Indo-Europeans, Old Iranians and ancient Iranian texts.
