| | Zarathushtra's Time (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | These scholars generally try to compare the social aspects of life during Zarathushtra (as can be deducted from the Gathas) and compare it with the first accurately known times, namely, the Achaemenian era, and then place a date. |
 | | The Pahlavi of the Bundahishn, one of the Zoroastrian scripture written around the time of the Arab conquest of Persia, (either in the Sassanian era, or after the Arab attack), states that Zarathushtra was born in 588 BC, stating that this was 258 years before Alexanders conquest of Persia. |
 | | Some scholars have adopted other methods and generally come up with post Achaemenian dates, which are now proven to be inaccurate. |
