>>>>>>>He didn't hijack anything,<<<<<<<
i meant in a nice way. became more equal than the others, he got to decide which parts of existing persian religion would get to stay and what the new religion (zorastrianism) would be comprised of chiefly.
>>>>>>>>>>>What you state already happened before Zoroaster was born<<<<<<<<<<<<
in that case, surely there must be a few pre zorasthustra-ic books about the previous persian religion. do you know the names of any of those books from whcih we can say for sure, that yes the persians indeed had what can be called a sister religion of hinduism, and had mythogies about shared (with hindus) gods - indra, mithra and varuna etc.
i mean if we could come to know about the pre zorathustra books of iranian religion, and they turned out to be similar to vedas, then we could say for sure, that before zorathustra indians and iranians were the same people with a same set of religious beliefs.
but so far i know, the oldest religious book from persia is the avesta.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>Vedic implies Vedas, but the Vedas were composed only by the Puru dynasty who were wholly based in India as were their descendants. The other dynasties - among them those that left, including the Parshu (Persians) and Prthas (Parthians), were therefore not "Vedic". I<<<<<<<<<<<<
do you know the whole details of these dynasties. of these peoples sprung from manu - illa, bharat, puru, parashu and pritha etc. thats the one i am really interested in. do you know of a book/site from where i can get the whole details about which offspring of manu went on to father which people. most importantly - where fo the hebrews come from?? from yayati??
>>>>>By the way, I know Iranian Haoma/Homa is equivalent to our Soma. Is Hauma another way of spelling it?<<<<<
lol same frequency at last. thats what i also thought.
samiddha means solution (samiddha comes from the same root as samadhan if i know right).
up to him to tell us whats the real story behind his moniker.
