Zoroastrianism. Андрей Тихомиров

Аннотация:

Zoroastrianism is a religion that originated on the territory of the Southern Urals in the so—called Vars, where future Indo-Europeans "cooked" metal. The characteristic features of this religion were: the idea of the struggle in the world of two principles – good and evil, the veneration of fire, the condemnation of mass blood sacrifices, the prohibition of the burial of corpses (they were given to animals to eat). Zoroastrianism is characterized by the teaching about the end of the world, about the afterlife, about the resurrection of the dead, about the coming savior born of a virgin, and the last judgment, which influenced Vedism – Brahmanism – Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
