"Mashafa Rash" and Building the Kurdish Myth of Creation

Initially, the Mashafa Rash (The Black Scroll) states that the "universe" (presence and everything in the universe) goes back to an unknown time. God created a white jewel and a dove named Anfar at that unknown time. The dove sat on the jewel for forty thousand years. In other words, it is said that God put the jewel on the back of the dove and it remained there for forty thousand years.
