Mazdaism

Mazdaism (Armenian: Մազդէականութիւն) ( Persian: آیین مزدایی ) is a religion that arose in western Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia beginning in the early centuries of the first millennium, Or much earlier, as it is considered the religion of the Medes and Turya people, some researchers believe that Zoroastrianism emerged from it due to Zoroaster's reforms. Unlike Zoroastrianism, in Mazdaism Ahura Mazda is one of the gods, equal to Mithra.
