Judaism influenced Zoroastrianism - Part 1
Back***Note: All web references are below the quotes or comments.
------------------------
The Manuscript copies of the Avesta are between 1900 - 2300 years removed from the dates that are attributed to them with no other copies, commentaries or citations from other historical manuscripts. The Younger Avestan portions are at least 1900 years removed from the date of the Bablonian Captivity of the Jews, and the Older Avestan portions are at least 2300 years removed from a generally accepted date of 1000 BCE, when Zarathustra is believed to have lived.
------------------------
The earliest Manuscript copy of part of the Avesta can be dated to the middle of the 13th century of the common era (1300 CE). After that date other codices appeared.
The oldest known copy of Zoroastrian or Avestan works is the Videvdad, or Vendidad. It was copied in 1323 CE in Nawsari, Gujarat, by the scribe Mihraban Kaykhusraw.
------------------------
Compilation of the Avesta most likely started to take place in the 3rd and 4th century of the common era, this period was in the midst of the Sassanian Dynasty.
"In the 3rd century, the Sassanian emperor Ardashir I (r. 226-241 CE) commanded his high priest Tonsar (or Tansar) to compile the theological texts."
The 10th century (1000 CE) is the last historical reference to a gathering of the texts together.
"The Avesta, also known as the Holy Book or the Prayer Book of the Zoroastrians, was referenced historically as committed to writing in the mid-first millennium CE (Common Era)**note(1000 CE)**. Before this time it had been transmitted orally from one generation to the next."
"Nevertheless much of the collection (Avesta) survived as late as the 10th century CE"
See Denkard in Wikipedia (It is a 10th century compendium)

Zoroastrianism started in 6000 BC it is much older than any other major religion. That is a fact.

Zerkziz, if that is a fact, then we could colaborate that Zoroaster was born around 6000 BC. Can you show me reasonable evidence of when Zoroaster was born?

Who cares which came first what we need to be figuring out is the ancient knowledge or enlightenment. There can be only one truth. And if we cant spread it the NWO wins... lol at least I think... lol or rather, it just seems like it to me. The world is being led to evil by the corruption and stagnation of all religions, We should be evolving to higher conciens, but the modern culture is devolving because of its devilish proprieters, who see the people as unenlightenedsheep and theyr makin ittrue

Matt,
Thank you for your comment. Actually, I care only that scholars give an acurate portrait of the historical facts. And the truth is that it has not been proven that Zoroastrianism came first. Regarding conspiracy, I think if there is a conspiracy, that maybe it is a conspiracy to make people think all kinds of things that are not true. For instance, that Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism.

I believe that Judaism is a religion which developed from the Ibre or Hebrews and that they were the descendands of Noah whose family was the only righteous upon earth because they were worshipers of the one true God. They were monotheisists and the human family of us all were monotheisists from the beginning and Judaism developed prior to Zoroastrianism and influenced Zoroastrianism.
