Avesta Zoroastrian Archives

Zoroastrianism is a religion founded in ancient times by the prophet Zarathushtra, known to the Greeks as Zoroaster. Zoroastrianism was the dominant world religion during the Persian empires (559 BC to 651 AD) and it is still practiced worldwide. Fire, as a symbol of 'Asha' and the 'original light of God,' holds a special place of esteem in the religion. The complete text of the extant Avesta, the most ancient scripture of Zoroastrianism, is available online, as well as many Pahlavi scriptures and information about the Avestan language.
