Before Creation, nothing existed save Infinite Time, Zrvan akarana. During the first 3,000 years, Ahura-Mazdah kept His creation within the limits of the spiritual and immaterial. The ravishes of creatures alone existed[1].
The daughter of Zorathushtra was Atossa,(Arunthathi?) (Avestian : Hutaosa) This is the name of Vishtapas’ queen (Wife of the King Vishtapa). (Angra Mainya was Zorasthustras’ Evil Name)[2]. Zorathushtrian’s father Pourushapa (The Grey Horse) and mother Dughdhova (Cow). Zorathustra born at Adarbijan in western Iran[3].and his religion was Monotheistic. ( The book of James Hope Moultan, Early Zorathushtrianism, William Norgate, London 1913 ) was based on the writings by Herodotus
Once Zorathustra was traveling in bitter cold of a Persian winter had been chassen away from the shelter by a servant of Kavi or Daevayasna (Devasena) Chief (Sukracharya?)[4].
Achaemenes was the founder of Aryan dynasty in the country where Vishtaspa (Vashishta?) rulled, and occupied by Turanian Chiefs. Vishtapa’s country was Eastern Iran[5]. Due to ill treatment of Sukrachaya, the Turanian Chief, Zorathustra might have contacted Dasaratha (XerXes) of Ayodya and Dasaradha had chase away the Sukracharya and won the war. This XerXes offered prayers to the rising Sun[6].
Ahuramazdha is the God of Aryan it is none other than the SKY, the Universe. This might be the Great Vishnu of Vaishnavites. The Zorathushtra asks many questions to Ahura Mazda which was answered by the sky[7]. This is the base of the famous Gita.
The sacred book of the Zoroastrians, the so-called Zend-Avesta was in the Avestic language, completed by the Zoroastrian literature in the Pahalvi or Middle-Persian dialect, consisting of translations or commentaries on the Avesta and in ethical or religious books of various kinds.
The Greek historian tells us that the Persians did not give any human shape to their deities. They called “Zeus” the whole vault of the sky, and they offered to the Sun, the Moon, the Earth, the Fire, the Water, and the Winds[8].
The second king of documents, i.e., the inscriptions on rocks, left by Achaemenid kings, present to us another type of religion, more coherent and with a higher character. As one knows, the inscriptions in question were written from 558 B.C. to 330 B.C., i.e., during the reign of the “Great kings,” but few of them are anterior to the times of Darius. The kings present themselves explicitly as the adorers of Ahuramazda, which is at the name of God in Zoroastrianism (Mazddh Ahura), when the words of Herodotus, who says that the god of the supreme deity in Persian is called Zeus, might rather incline us to believe that the heard him being named Dyaus pitar, as in Ancient India[9].
