In this essay, a valued scholar has investigated some important issues concerning the beginning of the Sassanid period. Primarily he analyses the causes of intimacy between the great Sassanid king, Shapoor the first, and the pretender of prophecy of his era, Mani. It was revealed that Shapoor intended to establish a global kingdom, while Mani had also endeavored to create a religion from some of the elements of the preceding religions, to replace them all and be approved as the single global religion.
