The logo of the World Health Organization is often used to symbolize a snake. The prevalence of this myth has led to the centuries-old snake being considered a source of pharmacy as a healing elixir and used by traditional pharmacists, physicians. Until the discovery of ancient Eastern civilizations over the past few centuries, the motifs found in these areas were thought to be the oldest source of current symbolism, and even considered Greek anecdote to be homage to Mesopotamia. After the unveiling of the nature of Jiroft, we came across motifs that preceded the Greek and Mesopotamian examples. The similarity of the earlier symbols with the found Jiroft's symbols in the creation of this living tree is a healing fluid in the cup and its relatively obscure role in interacting with the hero. However, some believe that this symbol is rooted in ancient Greek mythology. But the research hypothesis is that the snake myth is rooted in Jiroft. The purpose of this study is, first, to identify the sign foundations used in the World Health and Medical Organizations Index, and, on the other hand, to identify the origin of the mythological and ancient mythical, ancient constellations and snakes. Studies show through a descriptive-analytic method of library studies; this symbol is familiar not only in ancient Greece, but also in Mesopotamia, in the Bible and in ancient Iran, and used in literary, scholarly, artistic works. The constellation of the snake and the serpent have been associated. Studying the motifs obtained from Jiroft and comparing them with other Mesopotamian and Greek motifs and related texts, it becomes clear that the symbol in question is rooted in this civilization and that the myth associated with the snake is connected to stars, familiar to ancient Jiroftians. And have been mentioned in their myths.   Please cite this article as: Jafari Dehkordi N, Jafari Dehkordi N.
