Zoroastrism is the oldest of all the revealed religions, after 2.700 years of evolution; 'magis' or magicians were the highly respected and wisest priests of Zoroastrism; they practised their rites know initially as magic, and it is in this way that the concept of wizardry reached our days. Today, there are about 150.000 'Parsis' - as the last Zoroastristd are known - in India which are in fact, believers of this faith. However, Zoroastrism originated in ancient Persia, on what is now Iran, as an evolution or reform of the cult of the Aryans. This religion teaches the thoughts and principles of Zarathustra, a prophet that lived in Persia around the year 650 B.C.; it is characterised by the belief in the purity of the world that should be saved from our own impurities. Fire plays a central role, as well as the need for each believer to choose among good or evil. Their obsession for maintaining the purity of the essential elements of our world would be called today extreme ecologism, and this led these people to take extreme measures to make sure that nothing got contaminated. They built massivetowers known as 'dajmas', or towers of silence. These were made of stone and many still remain today; according to Anthony Hillary Braun, there is a magnificent sample over a hill in Yazd, Iran. Zoroastrism did not allow for cremation or inhumation - that is, sepulture -; instead, they left corpses at these towers, so that eagles as well as vultures would take care of them. After the bones were left cleaned, they were disposed of by throwing them into special ducts integrated into the towers. Curiously enough, Templar knights reserved a similar fate for their fallen and deceased comrades: the dead were given to dogs. |
