The Man Who Invented Morality (And Had It Stolen 3,700 Years Later) The Greatest Story Never Told 4.3 billion people practice his ideas. Almost none of them know his name. Who Was Zarathustra? Born laughing in 1700 BCE, Zarathustra Spitama was: The first philosopher in human history The founder of monotheism (1,000 years before Moses) The inventor of free will and moral choice The original source of heaven, hell, Satan, resurrection, and final judgment Every major religion that came after—Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Greek philosophy—would adopt his revolutionary concepts and claim them as their own. This is the systematic theft of credit for the most important ideas humanity ever received.
