The Persian society. It suffered a religious reform sometimes in the 6th century BC (by some accounts it was the 4th century BC) after prophet Zoroaster (Zartosht in Persian) proclaimed that the old Assirian gods awere not real and started the cult of Ahura Mazda, which eventually evolved in an almost complete form of monotheistic religion. When the new cult was initiated there were two gods, opposing eachother, Ahura Mazda - the good guy and the maker of all things and all creatures, and Angria Mainiu - the bad guy, the promoter of chaos but still a necesary presence in order to preserve an equilibrium of the celestial power. Because Zoroaster emphasised from the very begining the superiority of Ahura Mazda over Angria Mainiu, the latter gradually lost his position as god and Ahura reigned supreme as beneficiary of the first almost-monotheistic cult.
