What is Zoroastrianism?
I have finally remade one of the earliest videos on this channel - exploring Zoroastrianism in depth in what is the longest video ever on this channel. Dive into the fascinating world of Zoroastrianism, its ancient hsitory and ethical teachings, from its origins with the prophet Zarathushtra through the Achaemenid, Parthian and Sasanian empires and all the way until today. Discover how Zoroastrianism might be one of the most important religions in history, influencing some of the most famous and popular religons and philosophies in the world.
