I have been looking for evidence for the connection between Zarathushtra and the Deva from Indian, finally I found it!
Quote: Deva, (Sanskrit: “divine”) Iranian daeva, in the Vedic religion of India and in later Hinduism, one of many gods, often roughly divided into sky, air, and earth divinities on the basis of their identification with the forces of nature. In the pantheistic systems that emerged by the Late Vedic period, the devas became subordinate to the one supreme being. During the Vedic period the divine powers were divided into two classes, the devas and the asuras (in Avestan, daevas and ahuras). In India the devas came to be more powerful than the asuras, and the latter word eventually took on the meaning of demon. In Iran the reverse took place, and the daevas were denounced as demons by Zoroaster, the founder of Zoroastrianism. They still survive as such in the divs of Persian folklore, especially through the epic Shāh-nāmeh (completed 1010; “Book of Kings”) by the Persian poet Ferdowsī, and in the Devil of Christian Europe.

Quote: Asura, (Sanskrit: “divine”) Iranian ahura, in Hindu mythology, class of beings defined by their opposition to the devas or suras (gods). The term asura appears first in the Vedas, a collection of poems and hymns composed 1500–1200 BCE, and refers to a human or divine leader. Its plural form gradually predominated and came to designate a class of beings opposed to the Vedic gods. Later the asuras came to be understood as demons. This pattern was reversed in Iran, where ahura came to mean the supreme god and the daevas became demons. In Hindu mythology, the asuras and the devas together sought to obtain amrita (elixir of immortality) by churning the milky ocean. Although they had agreed to share the amrita, strife broke out over its possession, which led to a never-ending conflict. End Quote (https://www.britannica.com/topic/asura)
I have been suspicious of why they built underground living place such as Derinkuyu in Turkey, no wonder!!!

Zarathushtra was circa 1768BCE when he revelaed his divine message. – First disciple – King Vistashpa from Bactia. Becomes the state religion for Persia until roughly 330BCE when the original Superblond Blue eyed Conquering Hero Alex footstomps Perspepolis into the ground….has a revival until the Muslims turn up in 652CE then the Zararostrians jump in a boat and land in India and become the Parsee people… who despite intermarrying with the local clay.. err.. women.. remain strictly Zarathrustrians.
