Avestan Geography

Avestan geography refers to the ancient world described in the Zoroastrian religious texts known as the Avesta. This geography includes a mythical and historical landscape, encompassing regions like Airyana Vaeja, considered a paradise, and other significant areas that reflect the culture and beliefs of early Zoroastrians. The texts describe rivers, mountains, and sacred sites, emphasizing the duality of good and evil. The geography is both a spiritual framework and a reflection of the natural environment of ancient Persia, underscoring the connection between the physical world and Zoroastrian cosmology.
