https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TewWAAdVfqM&t=3s****************************************************************SPEAK OUT, ZARDOSHT! is the result of thirty-nine years of research into Zardosht (Zarathustra or Zoroaster), and his doctrine. It is the conclusion of what is arguably the most extensive study ever done on this subject, certainly in modern times. Ashoo Zardosht lived from BC 660 to BC 583, and is the first known prophet of the world from the latter days of the Babylonian Empire until the earliest formative years of the Persian Empire. He was born somewhere in Azerbaijan, a region with a cultural structure similar to that in the emerging Persian Empire in the Iron Age. When Zardosht became an adult in his community he observed that the core of this community was corrupted and had become little more than a pretext for the governing rulers, priests, and warriors to cheat people in the name of religion. He therefore set about changing his society by bringing about a new form of a national judicial constitution. In order to achieve this objective he integrated his doctrine into the prevailing religions in a sort of syncretism which, in turn, later became a new form of religion called Mazdayasna featuring his new axiom, "Good thought, good word, and good deed." Zardosht was thereby a key figure in the later development of the ancient religion and philosophy in the general region of Persia and the neighboring earlier civilizations of ancient Sumer and Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, recognized as being among those considered to be the world's three earliest civilizations, the other two being Egypt along the Nile and India along the Indus._

After living with a chain of poisonous-comic, dangerous, and sometimes tragic events throughout his life, on his 71st birthday, he leaves his second home for good from Lund, in southern Sweden, to Stockholm. He has left his first home, Iran, for many years before. As he gently packs a picture album that he carefully saved all these years, his eyes fall on two particular photos. The first one is a house he inherited from his parents in Abadan, Iran, and wanted to sell, which reminds him of that period of his life and the Kafka-like maze of Iranian priest cells. The other one is a photo of his sister, Poury, who brings back the mental shock he suffered after she became killed, only ten years old. Since then, he has continued to believe that his slain sister was still alive. All this while, along with his friends, he lived in a country traumatized by political difficulties, internal and external antagonism, social incongruence, and constant Medieval-Inquisitive-Method of persecution. As he is putting the last piece of his belongings on the truck, an anthem vibrates in his head: "O Iran! Oh, your border is full of precious! O Iran! Your soil is source of art gracious!"
