Zoroastrian scripture
The Zoroastrian scriptures, known as the Avesta, are a collection of religious texts which form the basis of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions. The primary author of the Avesta is traditionally considered to be Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra), a prophet who is thought to have lived in the second millennium BCE. However, the texts themselves were compiled over several centuries and were transmitted orally before being written down. Therefore, the exact identity, gender, and nationality of the authors are not known, and the Avesta is a product of a long tradition rather than a single individual.
