Hebrew Monotheism Comes out of Mesopotamia Moses embraces the idea of 1 god Sets the stage for Judaism, Christianity, and eventually Islam

Zoroastrianism Started in modern day Iran “good words, good thoughts, good deeds” Not exactly monotheistic The source of all good, Ahura Mazda, was in constant conflict with Angra Mainyu, the source of all evil After 12,000 years Mazda would win Becomes the official religion of the Persian Empire
