It is nice to know that Zoroastrianism has survived and flourished after such a long time in India and Iran. It is interesting to learn that this religion has played such a big influence on various cultures and religions that are widely practiced today.
While watching this video I recalled Appiah's "Case for Contamination" article. Particularly when he states non adapting cultures are dead. Those trying to preserve their traditions through actions and individual rather than objects. It is impressive to see Zoroastrians still prominent in several regions being the oldest monotheistic religion.
This religion has a very long history, one I knew nothing about. This video was very informative. I only knew Iran as a predominately Islamic nation with some Jews and Christians but I did not know many still practice this very old religion.

ReplyDeleteI find Zoroastrianism to be a very interesting religion. It's crazy yet amazing how long this religion has been around.
ReplyDeleteZoroastrianism is new to me, but its crazy that they have been around for so long.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of this religion until taking this course. I never would have guessed that it has been around for as long as it has.
