The remodelling plough, the dagger "that gives men the force to work their way into the outer sensory world." The same solar deity Ahura Mazdao is also the great inspirer of Zarathustra, the leader of the Iranian peoples, already shortly after the Atlantean catastrophe. This high individuality is not to be confused with the historical Zarathustra or Nazaratos so closely related to him in being — the Zarathustra of the 6th/7th century B.C., teacher of Pythagoras. It is to the primal Zarathustra, founder of the ancient Persian culture in the sixth pre-Christian millennium, that the ancient Persian Mysteries also trace back, whose teachings echo faintly and distantly in the Zoroastrian Avesta. The Avesta, which only received its written form around the Turning Point of Time, is traced back to the historical Zarathustra of the Persian Achaemenid period (around 600 B.C.). Yet texts of the Avestan songs (the Gathas) point toward far older traditions reaching back to the Mystery wisdom of the primal Zarathustra. Ancient sources from the Platonic school point, alongside the historical, to the primal Zarathustra, who is said to have lived 6,000 years before the death of Plato, or 5,000 years before the Trojan War.
