ImmortalsThe 'Immortals', is the Greek term for the elite of the Persian army. They were hand picked for their bravery and so rewarded.
Their name came from the way their number never fell below ten thousand. The division was always kept up to full strength, retired or fallen soldiers were always replaced. In this way their strength was always 10,000 men, never more or never less.
Entry to the ranks of the Immortals was restricted to those with Persian, Mede or Elamite ancestory.

The Persian Legacy■ Zoroastrianism
![Page 16: The Persian Empire and the Unification of China · Unification of China Chapter 4 Sections 3 & 4. Chapter 4 Section 3 The Persian Empire. The Rise of Persia](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022020215/5b8a565d7f8b9ae7298e6c91/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Zoroastrianism was founded in the 6th century BC by the Persian prophet Zoroaster; at the time of Buddha.
It was the official religion of the Persian Empire until it was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 AD... if the battles at Marathon and Salamis would have been won by the Persians, today we would have probably in the Western civilization Zoroastrianism, instead of Christianity... finally the Muslims defeated them in the 7th century AD.
The Zoroastrians were scattered, and today there are left 115,000 around Bombay, in India, and 7,000 in the United States.
Zoroastrianism was thus the first to teach clearly the doctrines of an individual judgment, Heaven and Hell, the future resurrection of the body, the general Last Judgment, and life everlasting for the reunited soul and body. These doctrines were to become familiar articles of faith to much of mankind, through borrowings by Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Zoroaster’s Teachings■ Earth is a battleground
where everyone must partake in the fight with good and evil.
■ Ahura Mazda is the one god
■ Judges how one fights for the battle of good
■ 600’s religion declined
