I’ve been going through ‘The Silk Roads’, thanks nostr:npub16as8gepztj9tvyx6n9y4h3cv3gaytgpl3g32jhcxlj6mcss72uaqjwg2tf for recommending it.

How had I never heard of Zoroastrianism before?… kinda blew my mind that I had such a gap in my historical knowledge

Think, Freddie Mercury.

He was raised in that religion, though I don't think he followed it much.

I didn't know anything about it until I took a comparative religion class in college. It's fascinating. It used to be huge until it was subsumed, unfortunately, by Islam.

Got to admit I don't remember much, other than it was mainly based in Persia/North India regions.

At least you remember that.

It seems there are lot of parallels between Zoroastrian religions & all the Abrahamic religions - kinda funky

Zoroastrianism*
