How Zoroastrianism Changed the World: Impact on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam

Martin based his Game of Thrones character, the Lord of Light on it. Mazda was named after its main god. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have all been profoundly shaped by it. And yet only a very few people follow it today.  We’re talking about Zoroastrianism, arguably the world’s oldest monotheistic religion. But what made it such an influential faith and how did it shape the world?
