In the past questions have been raised about how the early forms of Zoroastrianism were influenced by the Judahites that Babylon took from Jerusalem.

The Iron Age religions find their history often in their Bronze Age predecessors too. Many in the Levant regions share the same basic ideas - a pantheon of super-beings (often headed by a numero-uno which in the case of the Canaanites was “El”) and so forth.

Also, questions have been raised about Zoroastrianism’s influence on early Christianity, via mystery cults in Rome that may have a lineage back to the Persian area.
