The book explores the 3,500-year history of Zoroastrianism, beginning with its teachings by Zoroaster among nomadic tribes. It highlights the religion's evolution into a state faith of significant Iranian empires and its influential role on major world religions, including Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Following the Muslim conquest of Iran, Zoroastrianism lost its political dominance but persisted as a minority faith, showcasing its resilience and ongoing relevance in the modern world.
