Zoroaster’s age

The Greeks estimated the age of Zoroaster as 600 BC, while the Persians believed it to be 6000 BC. A man I did not know once told me: Does it matter if the world is one million years old or one billion? Similarly, does it matter if Zoroaster was born in 600 BC or 6000 BC?
The late Parsi blind yogi H. S. Spencer, who was friend and relation of Parsiana’s founder the late Dr Pesi Warden, pinpointed by five or six pieces of independent evidence, based on the stars (which do not lie) that Zoroaster was born in 7129 BC and died in 7052 BC. His books did not sell. God does not sell. Porn does. D. BUXEY
