  In the present age, which is the era of the rule of history and historicism, the question of identifying the mythical time and historical foundations is a concern for research.Particularly, in Iranian studies,  pinpointing the border between myth and history of the national epic is arduous.For the first time, Bertles  stated about the three distinct parts of  Shahnameh with mythical , historical and athletic titles. According to this view,the age of Pishdadian era is mythical, but scholars disagree on the era of Kianyan. The existence of mythical elements in the stories of Kianyan dynasty raises the question of whether the Kianyan kings have historical characters or belong to legends and myths. In response to this question, scholars such as Windschmall and Spiegel and Darmstadt and Lommel and wikander and Dozmil have a mythical view that  Kianyan or some of the kings of this dynasty are mythical.The existence of marvelous elements in the story of Kikavus and Kikhosro is the basis of this thinking. Another group of historians  such as Henning and Mary Boevis and Chrirstensen, consider Kianyan  kings the kings of East Iran to have ruled in the historical period before Achaemenids appierance and attendance Zoroaster in the kingdom goshtasp is the basis of this thinking In the present research, the views, arguments and evidence of these two groups of researchers have been criticized.The results of this study show that historians' theory is more reliable and closer to reality.

  Zamyad Yašt, aka Kayān Yašt, as the nineteenth Yašt of Avesta is considered the most important document in the ethnographic researches of the geographical foundation of the history of Iran. According to this Yašt, the kingdom of the Kayānian kings (Kay Ghobad, Kay Kavus, Kay Kosrow, Kay Lohrasb, and Kay Goštāsp) and their successful sovereignty is bound to the river banks leading to Hirmand River and running to Kiansiyeh (Hamoon) in Sistan.

  Malek Mahmoud Sistani (Kiani) is one of the princes of Sistan who reached Mashhad in 1135 AH/ 1722 AD following the domination of Mahmoud Qaljaei over Isfahan. In order to gain legitimacy, he traces the roots of his family to the Saffarid dynasty and through them to the Sassanids, and then to the ancient and mythical Kianians through their lineage; A claim that was almost accepted at that time. The present study is dedicated to criticizing the authenticity of this claim and also determining the date of application of the title “property” to this family. The research question is presented as follows: what were the factors and reasons for attributing King Mahmoud Sistani to the Sassanids and Kianians? In response, the hypothesis was stated that the mythical or historical roots of the presence of the Kiani kings and the heroes of the Shahnameh in the Sistan region, and the existence of historical sources in confirmation of this issue, have given rise to such an idea. The research findings, which are based on the description and analysis of data and the application of historical research methods, indicate that the genealogy of this family has been supported and sometimes questioned by various historical sources over the years. Paying attention to the non-attribution of the Sassanids to the Kianians based on post-Saffavid sources makes it clear that this claim can be discussed until attributed to the Sassanids.

The present article, after presenting the myth of Kay Kāvus, tries to consider the reasons of his “flight to heaven” and change in the myth. Then, the original structure of the story will be revealed by displacing some of couplets of the story in Shānāmeh. Manuscript profile
