The artful sandwich of Rostam-rock-div provides a thinking mode of who-caries-who='lgc'>: whose being is dependent on whose existence. The earth that the Rostam is laying on, is sacred, on the hands of an ancient creature, who has a very delicate way of “wounding” very much ="trms">different than Rostam’s quick hit-man style.='lgc'>[23='lgc'>] The div does not “end” Rostam as efficiently as the protagonist might have done it, but introduces the ="trms">intermediate being of the lithic and the riddle. The div engages in a game. Rostam wants to kill. Finish a job.

="large lg3" stl="font-size:112%"> The ="trms">techno-sci-="trms">story of the bacteria producing the air, earth and mitochondria,='lgc'>[24='lgc'>] is the one I like to delink-with the Rostam of Shahnameh from its chain of meanings and ="trms">relations to the div that he must kill. The Rostam-stone-div compilation is about the ="trms">abyssal div’s death-forming and life-forming powers. Rostam, himself coming from certain transvaluative body-buildings, is taking a nap on a billion-years-old stromatolite. Is the div’s self a form of fossilization ="trms">story of the now='qstn'>? “Do you want to go to the mountain or ocean='qstn'>?” An old form of preying. He introduces an intimate perspective into the geological time-continuum. The thousands-years-old div as geological ="trms">phenomena (in Ferdowsi ='lgc'>+ Mu'in diagram='lgc'>:) structure and ="trms">morphology of a landscape made by bacteria, ='lgc'>[“...pay attention to your ‘place’ in='lgc'>] the bedrock I am carrying you on.”

The div Akvan, coming from Akoman and Aka Manah, in Avestan relates more or less to “noxious thinking.” Divs are old and ="trms">skillful ancient biotic entities with disagreeable characteristics. Their de="trms">finition is yet open and subject to ="trms">interpretation. But always disobedient to the sovereign’s project and ="trms">abyssal in ="trms">nature, divs promoted another kind of order, other than the old Gods. Their project was always to disillusionize the ideas of divine nondestruction and non="trms">technological purity. They are on the side of destruction, ="trms">technology and death. When Rostam captures the great White-Div, Div-e Sepid,='lgc'>[25='lgc'>] a nasty ="trms"nttrm="metaph,metamorph,metabol,metal">meta="trms">morphosical sentient master in “un="trms">sympathetic magic” and an expert in the ="trms">crafts of necromancy ='lgc'>[ارتباط با مردگان —> he works with form, apparition and spirit, “dead bodies,” his knowl="trms"nttrm="knowledge,Knowledge">edge-="trms">cosmos in="trms"nttrm="cluster,club">cludes textures of mineral assemblage and recrystallization,='lgc'>[26='lgc'>]='lgc'>] his blood is eventually ="trms">instrumentalized in bringing back the lost eye-sights and unearthing the captured ones.

The athleticism of Shahnameh doesn’t allow Ferdowsi to have another take on the order of div. The ="trms">poem will not permit chaos.='lgc'>[27='lgc'>] In Shahnameh, divs are the defeated ones. Ferdowsi’s contest-oriented ="trms">poetic site is towards the defeat of victory of defeat.
