Big deal. The whole world was doing the same at the time. The Egyptians. The Greeks. Don't know much about you guys to be honest, but I wouldn't bet against it from what little I do.
Nonetheless, the rest of the piece was a brilliant read.
It clearly described what most Persians and Parsis know about Persia's "conversion" to Islam - in that, it was Islam's conversion to Zoroastrianism, with Muhammad and Allah as titular proxies, and Arabic now exerting influence on the transformation of middle Persian to new Persian.
There is a lot later about Zoroastrianism that I will go back and read when I get more uninterrupted time.
Thank you for the share. Unintended as the benefits were.
Cheers, Doc
