Zoroastrianism - New Georgia Encyclopedia

Zoroastrianism is an ancient religion based on the teachings of the prophet Zarathushtra (also known by his Greek name, Zoroaster), who may have been the first monotheist. Tradition teaches that Zarathushtra lived about 600 B.C., but scholars have dated his life in what is now Iran to between 1500 and 1000 B.C. Adherents of Zoroastrianism are found throughout the world, with the largest populations residing in Iran and India. Approximately 18,000 Zoroastrians are found in North America, and as of 2007 around 250 reside in Georgia.
