Let's take Persian Creation:
There was
Gayomar@... , The First Man 
G@...^ Urvan, the First Bull
Saena Tree, Tree of All Seeds
Saena M@...@gho, The Simurgh, The Giant Bird
Vourukas^a, the Gathering point of all Rivers.
The Man and the Bull was killed by Anra Mainyu, from Man's seed was born a plant, from where the First Human Couple sprouted (Mas^ya and Mas^yoi) and the Sun. From Bull's seed were sprouted the plants and the Moon.
 
Now we must compare it with Nordic Creation:
 
Gayomar@... , The First Man   cf. Ymir, the First Giant
G@...^ Urvan, the First Bull   cf. Audhumla, the First Cow
Saena Tree, Tree of All Seeds cf. Yggdrasill, The Axis Mundi Ash.
Saena M@...@gho, The Simurgh, The Giant Bird  cf. The Eagle at Yggdrasil's top.
Vourukas^a, the Gathering point of all Rivers.  cf. Hvergelmir
The Man and the Bull was killed by Anra Mainyu, from Man's seed was sprouted a plant, from where the First Human Couple sprouted (Mas^ya and Mas^yoi).  cf. Askr and Embla created from Trees; Ymir killed by Boerr's sons.
