This is a fictional historical novel eBook on the origins of the Zoroastrian people. The Saga deals with the lives of the ancient Indo-Europeans about twenty thousand years ago. They were the first MazdaYasnis, the Worshippers of Ahura Mazda (Zoroastrians): God in the ancient Zoroastrian tongue of Avestan. Volume I of the Saga describes vividly the Great Migration of their ancestors from their ancient homeland Airyanam Vaejo in the North Pole, due to the Ice Age glaciations that occurred in that ancient age. Drawing inspiration from the sacred Scriptures of the Zoroastrians, in which the great journey is told; the book unfolds the trials and tribulations that befell the ancient ancestors of mankind in their great journey to the South and the South-West, towards Iran, India, Greece, Russia, Germany and the other nations of Europe. The Zoroastrians display great heroism against the bitter cold and blizzards, the wild animals and the savage barbarians. Romance blooms among the young, as they travel onwards to Iran. The Saga is interspersed with heroic verse, in the great Zoroastrian tradition.
