Okay, so when I was going over this, I was trying to figure out What exactly It was. The name of this because I read it under a different thing. It's Zoroastrian archives, which is the Avasta. And I guess some other parts of this as well. Now, It's a very straightforward religion, and I didn't. We're even realize that it was from zephra. It makes sense, so they go together. It's just Not a straightforward introduction. It has some very plain Basically law codec style Writings, so it's just like, Okay, yeah, it's definitely agree with us. That's why I thought that it was a neighbor hammock text because It acts like an abraham, a text.

This with most of religions are very similar, and that's why.

People that study religion Say, hey, Yeah, all religions are the same. Like they're not, but they're very close.

This is just one of those short turb. Looks like Taoism you can read and understand quickly, And it's very unambiguous, Not a bunch of silly stories.

Book Review: Avesta: The Religious Books of the Parsees, Volumes 1–3

This fascinating historical collection by Arthur Henry Bleeck offers insight into the religious beliefs, traditions, and sacred literature of the Parsees. Its preservation of a significant 19th-century publication makes it particularly interesting for readers passionate about religious history, ancient texts, and cultural heritage. A valuable historical resource for curious minds.

Поразительная штука, что мы можем читать такие древние тексты, - написанные людьми, кажется, не имеющими ничего общего с современностью, но все же вполне понятными. Оказывается, зороастрийцы почитали звезду Сириус как бога дождя.
