Option A: Read these hymns that constitute the central scriptures of Zoroastrianism located at this web site: org/gathas.htm” target=”_blank” class=”external” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>http://www.avesta.org/gathas.htm (Links to an external site.)
Then visit this great link to a BBC site that has more information on Zoroastrianism, a faith still practiced today. Include any data in your entry from this link you find interesting:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/zoroastria…
What are the central themes and concerns exhibited in these documents? How do they compare to the religious texts we have examined from other cultures? What might they tell us about Persian culture? Is there anything distinctly more modern about these texts than others we have read about either for a Web Assignment of in our text? You might enjoy watching the embedded video I have included.
