Zoroastrianism place of origin?

Some scholars, including Mary Boyce, Professor Emerita of Iranian Studies at University of London, conclude that Zoroastrianism began in southern Russia, the area from the Iranian people of today emigrated. Others say that Zoroastrianism may have originated in central Asia, perhaps in Afghanistan. I find the southern Russia origin more persuasive, not only because the Iranian people originated there, and therefore could have brought the religion with them into eastern Iran, but because of similarities between Zoroastrianism and Hinduism, which could also have originated in southern Russia. Zoroastrianism did not reach the Medes and Persians of western Iran until around the eighth century BCE, leading some to believe that the religion originated there.


When did monotheism begin?

The traditional by Judaism, Christianity and Islam is that monotheism has existed since the time of creation. However, many scholars say that Judaic monotheism is of quite late origin. Given that Zoroastrianism is likely to be the earliest essentially monotheistic religion, then monotheism began when Zoroastrianism was founded - somewhere around 1700 BCE to perhaps 2000 BCE.


Where is Zoroastrianism?

Zoroastrianism is believed to have originated in the early Indo-Iranian homeland of southern Russia, although a minority view is that it originated in Afghanistan or somewhere further to the east. The homeland of Zoroastrianism became eastern Iran, from where it eventually spread to western Iran, including the Medians and Persians. After the Persian conquest of Babylon, the faith became widespread throughout Iraq. Zoroastrianism is now limited to a small community in Iran, small Parsi communities in Pakistan and India, and a small diaspora in the Western world.

Zoroastrianism is one of the oldest monotheistic religions. It was founded between 1200 and 1500 BCE by an Iranian prophet Zoroaster. When Zoroaster was thirty he had a vision of God during a purification ritual. He then went on to teach others about this one God.
