A 2,500-Year History of the Systematic Destruction of the World's Oldest Monotheistic Religion — Documented, Dated, and Named This investigation documents a pattern of destruction directed at Zoroastrianism — the world's oldest monotheistic religion — spanning 2,500 years. Each event is documented from primary sources, academic references, and the historical record. The pattern is not a conspiracy theory. It is a sequence of events, each verifiable, each resulting in the diminishment of Zoroastrianism and the enrichment of the traditions that replaced or absorbed it. The events are presented chronologically. The sources are cited. The pattern speaks for itself. Act I: The Theological Appropriation (c. 545-539 BCE) What Happened During the Babylonian Exile, an anonymous Jewish author known to scholars as Deutero-Isaiah (Second Isaiah) composed chapters 40-55 of the Book of Isaiah.
