    The production quality was excellent! I was suprised to see that you only have 3 subscribers. You've earned yourself another
  • How come every religion on earth teaches good thoughts, good actions, everyone is a follower on particular religion but nobody follows the rules 😢
  • @dlschweppe
    This was really good. Thank you for taking the time to create it. I wish you the best on growing your channel! And, yes, I subscribed.
  • And in the beginning, there weren't 2 sizes, good and evil. It was only ahura Mazda .. Then they create it 2 forms of worship

    Wow I never knew that they refused to come in to contact with their deceased! Really Fascinating stuff! This was thoroughly a Very good video & you gave me tons of great info bruh, for real… I subscribed 👌 It’s quite a shame that something which was once so spiritually beloved by the many got worn down vastly by a few. Nearly erased if you ask me. I mean Imagine looking upon the world, several thousand yrs from now, & having to confirm that there is barely anyone left alive knowing of, let alone practicing any sort of abrahamic religion. Pretty nuts to even think that could ever happen. …. yet . . .

    When I was an undergrad, I had a professor from Iran who was an Indo-European specialist. From what I remember, he said that Mithra was a holdover from earlier Indo-Aryan (pre-Vedic) religion.

    Very well done ... new follower ... I didn't know much about Zoroastrianism 🙂
  • A problem for them is that you cannot convert.You must be born to two Zoroastrian parents
  • Thank you so much I need to refresh my memory of this it was veey informative.
  • I'm working on a theory that Zoroaster is the same person as Cainan/Kainan from the book of Jubiliees. He would have been descrended from the people who became the Chaldeans, and married the daughter of Madai, from whom the Medes come. The empire based around the Zoroastrian religian was called the Kainyam dynasty. Based on Biblical Geneologies, Kainam and Nimrod correspond to Zoroaster and Vistsspa. The previous dynasty corresponds to the number of patriarch between Adam and Noah, and both kingdoms lasted 2000 years. This would have been when Nimrod (Sargon) began to expand his kindgom beyond southern Iraq to take over all of Mesopotamia and Syria. Since Zoroastrianism tended to change over time, and Daniel was over the Magi for about 50 years. (the same era that Pythagoras studied under the Magi), it is more likley that Zoroastrianism was influenced by Judaism by the 4th century rather than vice versa. The leading scholar on Old Avestan and Zoroastriansim believes the true religion is as old as 1700 BC. This would put its origin shortly after the Biblical Tower of Babel, which was a story of how the languages were divided, apparently held by tribes as far as Mexico and California, and held by Syrian, Babylonian, Egyptian, and Phonecian historians in Josephus' day, along with the Sybilline Oracles, which date back to the 7th century BC.
