Kyomarz or Gil-shah – First man
"When all this was done, God called into existence a being named Kyomarz, or Gil-Shah; and he was the father of all the present human race—that is to say, of the Persians.
The time that has elapsed since Gil-Shah lived must be computed at not less than one hundred thousand years.
Creation of Kyomarz: Randolph describes Kyomarz, or Gil-Shah, as a primordial being created by God to be the progenitor of the Persian people.
Etymology: The names "Gil-Shah" and "Kyomurz" are explained, with "Gil" meaning "clay" and "Shah" meaning "king," which Randolph interprets as denoting Kyomarz as the "First Man" or "earth-king."
