There are only a few of us left. We are few and far between but we are still here. We are Ale’zola. Each of us is unique but the same. We started the Zolian Empire and we ended it. Let me start at the beginning, when the Zolian Empire began 7000 years ago the Ale'zola were everywhere. We were the law keepers, the military. We were respected. Then 20 years into the reign of King Samuel the First a prophet came to Belya, the capital city. She said one thing before dying by her own hand. The empire
Zoroaster is one of the most important figures to Zoroastrianism. Zoroaster is a name given because that is what the people in the West know him as. In previous scriptures it was cited as Zarathustra. His teaching were so precious that later it would become key parts of a movement called Zoroastrianism.

Sikhism and Zoroastrianism, for instance, do not strike people as having similar history or doctrines. However, both of these religions are similar in the founder’s religious awakening, belief in only one
The understanding of the point of view of the author in any novel is crucial to understanding the significance of the message that the author is trying to demonstrate.

Tranquilla Mcgee Lane, Natasha World Religion 28 March 2016 Jesus Vs Zoroaster Christianity and Zoroastrianism are to two, different in nature but similar in character, religions. Zoroastrianism is thought to be an older religion than Christianity. It is said it is the platform upon which Jewish and Christian beliefs were formed. Some of the most confusing elements of the Zoroastrian religion would be the dating of its material. The traditions remained oral until the development, sometime between
religions. It was founded by Zoroaster in 1600 B.C.E. (this date alternates between 1400 and 628 B.C.E.) While it is a fading religion now if it wasn’t for Zoroastrianism we wouldn’t have some of our religions that we have today. Zoroaster was born in northeast Iran or Southwest Afghanistan. They aren’t sure of his exact birthdate but it is sometime during the bronze age with a polytheistic religion, or the religion of worshiping many gods.

1. Attila the Hun, Genghiz Khan, and Tamerlane share the same reputation of brutal, blood-thirsty barbarians who were after nothing more (or less) but the destruction of the so-called civilized world. Do they deserve this reputation or a case can be made in defense of one or all of these leaders? Attila the Hun Attila the Hun and his brother Bleda became “joint leader” of the empire after their father Mundzuk was supposedly killed by his brother, who took over the empire but was exiled because they

From watching the video “Engineering an Empire: The Persians” I learned about the Persian Empire. Persia is today the country of known as Iran. Led by Cyrus II the Great (576 – 530 BC) Persia became one of the largest and most successful empires of all time. The reign of Cyrus the Great is said to have lasted from twenty eight to thirty one years. In that time he stretched his empire over much land, including; parts of the Balkans and Thrace-Macedonia in the west, to the Indus Valley in the east
As the economy grew in the beginning of the classical period, the sharing of rich information and spiritual ideas flourished. With each society expanding their wealth and perfecting their goods, the need to trade those with surrounding societies also grew. People began to build complex religious ideas, which traveled right along with merchants on the trade routes. The effects that these developments had in religious and economic thought of this time will have an effect on each and every one of our

Darius 1, a Persian King, is mentioned in the text, Art a Brief History, and I want to write about his life and empire, personality, and religion, also; how he helped build Zerubbabel’s Temple. Christian Jews, with the aid of Darius, build Zerubbabel Temple for God, according to the Holy Bible of the King James Version.

The code of Hammurabi was one of the most important documents in Babylon history. It was adopted from many Sumerian customs that had been around for a while before the Babylonians. Though many of the Laws were adopted from Sumeria they were published by Hammurabi and thus known as the code of Hammurabi. This code had four main parts to it. They were: Civil Laws, Commercial Laws, Penal Laws, and the Law of procedures. The Civil Law was an important one to the people. It set up a social class system
state the later religions copied from them and are thus not the one true belief. Around the twelfth century BCE, a man named Zoroaster lived in a small village in Persia. One day he received a vision from Ahura Mazda in which it was revealed to him that how the world was made, the true status of all the gods people worshipped and the true meaning, or form, of evil. Zoroaster went on to teach first his family, then his village, and ultimately his king, that all of the gods they worshipped were nothing
Comparision of Judaism and Zoroastrianism Religion has been a major focal point in any society and in any culture. Starting from the first civilizations in Sumer and Ur to the vast metropolitans of today like New York and London, religion has been around and played a key part in lives of people.

However, unbeknownst to many, the concepts that exist in Christianity and Judaism (the religion from which Christianity spawned) were initially conceived by the nearly dead religion of Zoroaster. Christianity is closely modeled after the Zoroastrain's beliefs in the afterlife, redemption, judgment, duality of deities, apocalypse and messiahs. Whether Christianity adopted or coincidentally shared the beliefs of the Zoroastrians is up for

As his name implies, he seems to have been sought by his worshippers for wisdom and insight, and, to judge by the intense experiences of Darius (whether or not his professions are genuine) and of Zoroaster, he was probably the object of a personal devotion that appears to have been lacking with other
AN ANCIENT CULTURE Sarah Alinejad Intercultural Communications March 2, 2014 INTRODUCTION I’m always given puzzled looks when I tell another person I am Persian. Now, taking my blonde hair and green eyes into consideration, I can understand that. I get even more confused looks when I tell them that I both traits are predominantly from my dad’s side, who is 100% Persian. In order to really understand why this is, you’d have to go back and explore deep into Persia’s history and the Aryan
