- Kinnard 11y agoWhich two tribes?
- eternalban 11y agoPersians and Jews.
- Kinnard 11y agoAre Persians a tribe? Which tribe are Persian Jews a part of?
- mh8h 11y agoYes. The old Persians were one of the major tribes who lived in the Iranian plateau circa 1000 BCE.
- lotux 11y ago"Persian" is a historical mistake started by Herodotus, Iran was Iran from the begining. start to learn the proper name after a long time 2500+ years is a long time.
- joe5150 11y agoAre you saying "Iranian" is the correct term for all the people living in past and present day Iran? Because that's...wrong.
- eternalban 11y agoYou are correct that Iran has always been called Iran (Eraan). Persians refer to the sub-set of Aryanman of Eran-Zameen ["Land of Arya"] that settled in the general area of the province of Fars (Perse) and after the overthrow of the Median Aryanman (likely forefathers of the Kurds) ascended the world stage [1]. -- [1]: http://www.iranchamber.com/history/darius/darius_inscription_biston.php http://www.iranchamber.com/history/darius/darius_inscription...
- ZanyProgrammer 11y agoMany of the features of Second Temple Judaism (and hence Christianity) were thought to have been influenced by Zoroastrianism, from the time of the Babylonian Captivity onwards.
- hetman 11y agoOne must be very careful when determining the level of influence as this can often be quite an emotionally charged topic with interests that go beyond the purely academic on both sides. Some of the ideas that area said to be influential, historically don't appear fully formed in Zoroastrianism until after contact with Christianity. Like the other religions, Zoroastrianism did not appear in its modern form but gradually evolved some of its modern ideas.
