Zoroaster was an ancient prophet named based on the
compound in the Avestan language, of zarəta- "old" and uštra "camel", translating to "having old camels, the one who owns old camels". The first part of the name has also been translated as "yellow" or "golden", from the Avestan zaray, (Modern Persian zærd) giving the meaning "[having] yellow camels".
A more romantic, but inaccurate, translation of the name, in the past has been "[bringer of the] golden dawn", based on the mistaken assumption that the second part of the name is a variant of the Vedic word Ushas meaning "dawn".
This last translation seems to have derived from a desire to give a more fitting meaning to the prophet's name than "owner of feeble camels".
His prophecy and relgion cannot be accurately dated and range from 1400 BC to 485 BC
His background is said to be Bactrian - as the bactrian camels are named after.
His philosophy- Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.
There is only one path and that is the path of Truth.
Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do, and then all beneficial rewards will come to you
