- Description:
- Encyclopedia article about Zoroastrianism in Georgia. Zoroastrianism is an ancient religion based on the teachings of the prophet Zarathushtra (also known by his Greek name, Zoroaster), who may have been the first monotheist. Tradition teaches that Zarathushtra lived about 600 B.C., but scholars have dated his life in what is now Iran to between 1500 and 1000 B.C.
