Statue of Zoroaster in New York
“Author William Culican remarks that the “Laws of the Medes and Persians” became a by-word of judicial incorruptibility and harshness, throughout the subject lands. Execution by crucifixion is a Persian invention. It was theZoroastrians who gave the world legal principles enshrined in the law of evidence and procedure. Legal concepts like arbitration, release on bail, representation by a lawyer, power of attorney and execution of wills are of Persian origin, later picked up by the Greeks and Romans.
In recognition of Zoroastrian contribution to the development of law, a statue of Zoroaster stands in the Court of the Appellate Division (near Madison Square and 23rd Street) with other law givers like Moses, Manu, Charlemagne and Alfred the Great.”

i’m so proud of being an Iranian , it has been a while, that i felt that way, for a very Obvious reasons, even though i have Being an atheist for a long time 35 to 40 yrs, having the sculpture of Zoroaster in Madison Square is huge cuz it has no political reason behind it , it’s a truth and facts, he is the original prophet , if you check torah and Bible, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out that they copied from Avesta
