The sacred scripture of Zoroastrianism, an ancient Persian religion, containing prayers, hymns, and religious teachings.
From the Avestan language word 'avesta' meaning 'knowledge' or 'wisdom'; the texts were originally composed in Avestan, an extinct Iranian language, between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE.
The Avesta is one of the world's oldest religious texts and profoundly influenced later religions including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam through its concepts of heaven, hell, the final judgment, and the cosmic battle between good and evil.
