Open discussion. Zoroastrianism and the influence on Abrahamic religions.
One nice evidence is that there is no mention of the devil itself in the books before contact with babilonian people.
The 2 divinities idea comes from there, but as YHWH was already a supreme being, the evil divinity became the revel angel.
And that makes no sense because for a lot less YHWH obliterated cities, while the evil god is free to act XD
Abraham was almost certainly a Zoroastrianist his monotheism and dualism come have come from almost no where else.
Abraham introduced the concept of angels again an element of Zoroastrianism (to be clear angels in the patriarchal stories of the bible do not have wings, that came from Egypt later Zoroastrianism's angels are shining beings who dress in black to dull their "glory" ) He popularised the God and Devil conflict from the twin deities of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman.
Many Zoroastrianist converted to Christianity believing him to be the second coming of Zarathustra who had foretold his return as the child of a virgin mother who would conceive after baptism in a sacred pool.
I think there is no question whatsoever that The house of Israel emerged from Zoroastrianism.
@Antifred the only web sites that back that sort of dating up are creationist and completely neglect the fact that the measurement of the ancient Babylonian year, the Israelite year and the Julian calendar were all shorter than the modern Gregorian year, hence Abraham being claimed to be 175 years old at his death.
All three of the artifacts including the Elam tablets make no mention of Abraham, but date him by relating him to lists of kings, none of which can be directly linked to Abraham but are based on counting back from Moses who it is claimed lived 1440 years after Abraham.
Problem being of course Moses never existed, there is no independent record of him or the exodus in the huge library of Egyptian history uncovered in the last two centuries with the aid of Champolians research and the Rosetta stone and his biblical legend is a retelling of the Birth of Horus who did not exist either.
Zarathustra was not the first prophet of Zoroastrianism, he is just the greatest, claiming the religion can be dated from him is like dating Judaism from the Birth of Rabbi Judah Loew ben Bezalel .
I actually really like Zoroastrianism as far as religions go.
