Mani, the persian prophet



He was born in bobylon (now know as modern Iraq), as a gifted child he started preaching his religion and traveled to turkestan, Iran and India. In persia, he converted Shapur I brother Peeroz to Manichaeism and so was free to preach his faith but after shapur's death, the anger of the zurthustrian clerigies was intensified and so in Bahram rule he faced death. After his death the religion travelled all the way from britain to egypt and to china. He also claimed to be the last of all prophets and like Jesus he spoke of humanity once and for all. Fragments in turkish, egyption and persian are all evidence of who he was and Of what he meant.
