Top Comments of this video!! :3
Armenians, before becoming the First Nation to accept Christianity as their national religion in 301 A.D were Zoroastrian as far back as 5th century BC. We still have some Zoroastrian traditions. Ahura Mazda was Aramazd and you can still find the common name Aram in many Armenians. Thanks for this video because I’ve always been interested in learning more

It's interesting to contrast Mithraism, usually termed a 'mystery-religion' and Zoroastrianism, which is much more of an ethical philosophy like Buddhism. Persian history rocks! A fun fact: Zarathushti used to make a pilgrimage to Baku in modern-day Azerbaijan because the ground was so saturated with petroleum that flames would spontaneously pop up from the ground in some areas.

Thank you for this educational lecture about Zoroastrianism. I listened to your first one too, as l have been involved with Zoroastrianism through my husband, who studied Arabic, African languages, and Middle Eastern religions, and wrote his Thesis about Yazidism, and Zoroastrianism in 1970. At that time the Berlin Umboldt University had extensive books by German scholars about these two ancient religions, which l needed in essence to translate into my husbands language.
“Yazidism is a monotheistic ethnic religion (like Zoroastrianism too) , that has its roots in a western Iranic pre-Zoroastrian religion directly derived from the Indo-Iranian tradition.” (According to Wikipedia) l could not say it better, nor shorter in English, as it’s not my first language) A Kurdish speaking Yazidi Community is living in Melbourne, Australia till date, and of course they are living in the triangle Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and in small groups in the Middle East till today too, trying to preserve their religious, cultural, language traditions, but have lost lots of it due to the mentioned countries suppressing their believes, rituals, and assimilating them, or punish them like in Turkey. Many Yazidis have been massacred, genocides committed in the Triangle borders. It is a hot topic.
I wished, there would be an episode about Yazidism, and the connection between the two, the similarities, and differences.
Thank you. It’s fascinating to listen to these scholarly lectures. Greetings from Melbourne

Two things you may have forgotten to mention and I feel is relevant is 1) Cyrus the great--a practicing Persian Zoroastrian--liberated the jews from Babylon and is consider a genuine MESSIAH in the Hebrew Bible and Christain old testament. 2) The 3 Magi that visited the infant Jesus were Zoroastrian. Magi is the formal name used for practicing Zoroastrian priests and the term is still used in parts of Iran.

As a believer in Christ and trying to do my part helping my house, family, all people in general, I really appreciated the part when Darius was quoted saying he’s a friend to ALL who do not harm others. Whether strong towards weak, or weak towards strong. ❤you all my friends who love to love and hate to hate. Wishing you a prosperous journey.
