Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, was an ancient Persian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions. He lived approximately between 1000-600 BCE and died around 583 BCE. Born into a noble family in Persia, he received divine revelations at age twenty, proclaiming Ahura Mazda as the supreme deity of light and truth. His teachings centered on the cosmic struggle between good and evil, emphasizing that individuals must choose righteousness through good thoughts, words, and deeds. Though initially met with resistance, his faith eventually became the state religion of the Persian Empire, profoundly influencing later Abrahamic faiths. more
