 the Archaeology of Sogdiana
At the same time, the emergence of Iranian-speaking tribes in the first millennium BCE, including the ancestors of historical Sogdians in the regions where the latter lived, is often associated (although empirically unsupported) with the arrival of Andronov tribes.
In the eighth and seventh centuries BCE, settlements with semi-huts were replaced by large cities, among them Kok-tepe (with an area of 100 hectares; the name is the modern one) and Samarkand (220 hectares; the ancient town was Afrasiab).
Greek forms in the Afrasiab pottery, including “fish plates” and kraters appeared in the third century BCE during the rule of the Seleucids, not right after Alexander the Great’s conquest of Sogdiana in the 320s BCE.

Taking a moderate estimate of his lifetime, of before or around 1000 BCE, he lived in a period of warfare when there was a great need for a more intellectual and less ritual-based religious culture.
The Achaemenid kings acknowledge their devotion to Ahura Mazda in inscriptions; however, they also participated in local religious rituals in Babylon and Egypt, and helped the Jews to return to Canaan, so apparently no attempt was made to enforce religious orthodoxy on their subjects.
Should it be before 1300 BCE (prior to Akhenaten) then Zoroaster would be the earliest monotheist known in any religion.

Nevertheless, a transition is unmistakable: before the classical period, live speech still dominated formal artistic and intellectual communication; afterwards, as the basic institutions of the Hellenistic world were taking hold, written texts had replaced oral communication for many forms of cultural transmission.
