Zarathustra

The Zoroastrian Gathas

 

Zoroaster, or Zarathustra, was a prophet of the sixth century BC, according to most scholars, though there is school of research that puts him at 1400 BC and a much smaller school that puts him about 5500 BC. I will assume he was part of the great melting pot of thought and representation in language and culture and religion that was the greater Arabian region in the 6th-5thst
