The legend of Shamaran holds significant cultural significance in Kurdish mythology and serves as a prominent creation myth. Despite variations in traditions, this article undertakes a comparative analysis between the Shamaran legend and the narrative of the Garden of Eden, employing a structuralist approach and drawing upon mythological and biblical data. Through this research, it is revealed that these two narratives share a coherent and uniform structure, as well as common themes. The central focus of both narratives lies in the creation of existence and mankind. Key elements, such as the Garden of Eden and creation myths, serve as focal points for comparison. Utilizing textual analysis and comparative methodologies, this study aims to identify common motifs, theological perspectives, and historical contexts shared by these cultural narratives. By critically evaluating the primary sources of each tradition, we seek to shed light on the potential intersections and divergences within the mythologies under scrutiny.
