The Religion of King Cyrus of Persia: Zoroastrianism Revealed by the Prophet Zoroaster



Its teachings can be found in Islam which inherited this religions values then it violently destroyed this religion to hide the fact that islam inherited Jewish Christian and Zoroastrian Teachings Mohammed Received the revelations of God through the holy books of other faiths he compiled these books into the Quran
the seven great Aməša Spəntas (q.v.) themselves are perceived as meditating on good thoughts, words, and acts. It is on the sum of all these from throughout his mature life that an individual’s salvation depends, for all are weighed in the scales of justice when the soul is judged. In the Haδōḵt Nask 2.24-25 the Daēna (q.v.) who meets the departed soul of a righteous man


identifies herself as his good thoughts, words, and acts, by which he has made her beautiful; and (2.33-34) the soul then ascends, figuratively, through the three stages of Humata(Good thoughts), Hūxta(Good Words), Huvaršta(Good Deeds), to Paradise.
The bridge to Heaven or Hell
The Chinvat Bridge (Avestan: 𐬗𐬌𐬥𐬬𐬀𐬙𐬋 𐬞𐬈𐬭𐬈𐬙𐬏𐬨 Cinvatô Peretûm, "bridge of judgement" or "beam-shaped bridge")[1] or the Bridge of the Requiter[2] in Zoroastrianism is the sifting bridge,[3] which separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. All souls must cross the bridge upon death. The bridge is guarded by two four-eyed dogs, described in the Videvdat (Vendidad) 13,9 as 'spâna pəšu.pâna' ("two bridge-guarding dogs").[4][5]

27. O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Where are the rewards given? Where does the rewarding take place? Where is the rewarding fulfilled? Whereto do men come to take the reward that, during their life in the material world, they have won for their souls?
28. Ahura Mazda answered: 'When the man is dead, when his time is over, then the wicked, evil-doing Daevas cut off his eyesight. On the third night, when the dawn appears and brightens up, when Mithra, the god with beautiful weapons, reaches the all-happy mountains, and the sun is rising
29. 'Then the fiend, named Vizaresha, O Spitama Zarathushtra, carries off in bonds the souls of the wicked Daeva-worshippers who live in sin. The soul enters the way made by Time, and open both to the wicked and to the righteous. At the head of the Chinwad bridge, the holy bridge made by Mazda, they ask for their spirits and souls the reward for the worldly goods which they gave away here below.
30. 'Then comes the beautiful, well-shapen, strong and well-formed maid, with the dogs at her sides, one who can distinguish, who has many children, happy, and of high understanding. 'She makes the soul of the righteous one go up above the Hara-berezaiti; above the Chinwad bridge she places it in the presence of the heavenly gods themselves.[14]
But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

King Cyrus freed the Jews who were held captive by the polytheistic Babylonians. This is recorded in the Bible in 550 BC (550 years before the birth of Christ)
