 == The historical record ==
-Zoroastrianism is the one of the oldest of the world’s religions. Zarathustra, its founder, was a prophet who spoke to his God face-to-face. Zarathustra lived in a nonliterate society, whose people did not keep records. His teachings were passed down by oral tradition, and much of what was later written down about his life and teachings has been lost or destroyed. What scholars have been able to piece together about him comes from three sources: the study of the historical milieu prior to and during the time Zarathustra is believed to have lived, tradition, and seventeen sacred hymns called Gathas. Scholars concur that Zarathustra composed these hymns. The Gathas are recorded in the Avesta, the sacred scriptures of Zoroastrianism.
+El zoroastrismo es una de las religiones del mundo más antiguas. Zaratustra, su fundador, fue un profeta que hablaba con su Dios cara a cara. Zaratustra vivió en una sociedad analfabeta, cuyo pueblo no dejó nada escrito. Sus enseñanzas fueron transmitidas por tradición oral y mucho de lo que se escribió más tarde sobre su vida y sus enseñanzas se ha perdido o destruido. Aquello que los eruditos han podido reunir sobre él proviene de tres fuentes: el estudio del entorno histórico anterior y contemporáneo a la época en que se cree que vivió Zaratustra, la tradición y los diecisiete cantos sagrados «Gathas». Los eruditos están de acuerdo en que Zaratustra compuso estos cantos. Los Gathas están contenidos en el Avesta, las escrituras sagradas del zoroastrismo.
 It is believed that Zarathustra was born in what is now east central Iran, but that is not certain. Zarathustra’s date of birth is even more difficult to establish. Scholars place it sometime between 1700 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. and 600 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. The consensus is that he lived around 1000 <small>B</small>.<small>C</small>. or earlier. The Gathas say that Zarathustra was of the Spitama family, a family of knights. The Greek name for Zarathustra is Zoroaster, meaning “Golden Star,” or “Golden Light.” He was one of the priest class who formulated mantras.
