Yeah that is what I wrote it, roots date back to old Median times which itself had adopted ancient Mesopotamian elements such as planet cult, as by Prof. Kreyenbroek but the Parthian Dynasty changed that old religion in the way of making Mithra the personification of the sun. It literally connected the sun specifically to Mithra. And according to Kreyenbroek who was in Lalish there is a place of a burned down statue which according to him is most likely Mithra since Lalish itself is build the style of old Mithraistic underground shrines.

Let's not derail the thread too much. When it's page after page without any results it is no good.
Yezidis don't use the word 'Mithra', but they use the ancient Mesopotamian/Sumerian (Akkadians took it later from the Sumerians) word for the Sun, 'Shems'. Shamas is a Mesopotamian/Sumerian word for the Sun, and the Yezidis use that word. They say Xode Shems and not Xode Mithra.
Mithra deity itself is derived from the Sumerian Shamas..

Lalish underground shrine, according to Kreyenbroek there at the end of the tunnel there is a place typical for a Mithra statue and he assumes it was most likely destroyed by Christians
