Is Zoroaster the coolest looking prophet?
He looks like a parallel universe Jesus.

Nah, its prolly one of the Hebrew Judges or Muhammad.
Especially Good Ol' Mo. Cunt may have went into battle looking like the dude far left..

He's the DBZ version

That isn't a photo.

Depictions are fair game too.
>>465156
Depictions vary immensely, while reality doesn't.
>>465158
Ok, let's say that every mainstream depiction of Zoroaster kicks ass. No other prophet matches that.
>>465158
A significant proportion of religious figures were probably composites, mythologized or never existed. Until you bring me a photo of Zoroaster from 1500 BC we'll just have to make do with depictions I guess, huh? Fucking whiny faggot.

Perhaps contemporary descriptions of the prophets' appearances would suffice, though its their message that matters and not the way they looked.
Their appearance is only important for understanding how their peers would have reacted to them.

That's your argument, senpai.
Their teachings have stood the test of time.
The last prophet (John the Baptist) has pretty cool depictions in Orthodox iconography.

Badass.
Nice art style too, it looks quite modern.

1989? yeah...

We don't have a contemporary description of Zoroaster, for scholars do not even know well when those contemporaries and Zoroaster himself existed.

Mani was the final seal of the prophets, completing the previous religious messages of Zoroaster, Christ and the Buddha.
>>466880
What I like about Mani is that he was not gonna let others mess with his message so he was a prolific writer and wrote several texts in different prestigious languages to spread his new faith. Even Muhammad limited himself to a single opera magna that had to be extensively complemented by others.

What's that rod called? I think I heard a Hermeticist reference it.

Mighty stick of light, fire and aryans™

Zoroaster probably more reliably lived in the 700/600 era, he was apparently postulated by Olmstead to be in good graces with the Kavi and local kinglets where Darius the Great's father and grandfather welcomed and patronized him.

The ritual rod used by Zoroastrians is called barsom

But as you can see, it's a bundle of sticks, while Zoroaster holds just one.

Cyrus the Great more likely. And the Achaemenids came from Pars, while the Avesta was 90% written in Khwarezm, because it references its locations often.
>>467025
No.
Darius the Great's father and grandfather, Darius the Great's father was a satrap and one of the major supporters of Cyrus the Great who was their kin as Darius correctly states; he is of the same family as Cyrus and the rest of the Achaemenids. But it was HIS father and grandfather that welcomed Zoroaster in the last golden years of the Median Empire.
