👉 The term "ifrit" is commonly used in ancient Mesopotamian and Babylonian texts to denote a type of clay. Ifrits are believed to have originated from the Nile River, where they were typically used as decorative items for temples or religious structures. The name "Ifrit," which means "god's stone," was also used in other cultures, particularly in the Indus Valley Civilization (1700 BCE-600 BCE).
