Zarathustra The Prophet Prophet changed Persians from worship of multiple gods to 2 Gods Created Zoroastrianism—belief in 2 Gods 1 God– Ahura Mazda (Wise Lord) Good, Kind Stood for truth The other God– Ahriman (enemy) Believed good and evil fought each other---Good would always win “The Earth is a battle ground, a struggle between forces of light and forces of darkness” Believed they would live in paradise after they died As the empire grew Persian religion, customs, and culture spread At the decline of the empire Persians had to fight to hold on to their customs. Arabs conquered in 750 BC—Brought their culture and religion to Islam.
