Pre-Zoroastrian Iranian religion as similar to the religion of the Vedic Indians. Similar deities such as Indra, Varuna and Mitra were worshipped.
The land we now call Iran is but a fragment of what used to be Iran but wtihin the present political confines, the pre-Zoroastiran people of Iran worshipped a number of deities as well as the mother goddess. In Elam, Nanai and Inshushinak were important and continued to be worshipped locally into late Parthian times, after which they were suppressed and gave way to Zoroastrianism.
In language, the ancient people of Iran, prior to the Iranian Aryans who arrived from Central Asia, spoke a variety of languages belonging to several main groups including Caucasic, and Dravidian.
