Many of the traditions of the Zoroastrians may have been incorporated into the bible by the Hebrews. Zoroastrianism was the religion of the old Persian Empire and Israel was part of that Empire. It was Cyrus the Persian Emperor who let the Jews return to Jerusalem to rebuild the Temple. Similarities are virgin birth and resurrection. Good and Evil, corresponding to God and the Devil. A day of reckoning, to name just a few.
Zoroastrianism is still practiced mainly in India although there is a Temple in Hong Kong in Causeway Bay.

Thus SPOKE zarathustra.
I'd actually like to know more about it myself, if only to know what the hell the weaver of the eternal circle thing is all about.
