In a recent interview, Professor Yusufshoh Yakubov, of Tajikistan, referenced in the video, confirms:
(Translated from the Tajik language):
“…People say it’s Sablon, but in fact it isn’t Sablon—it’s Samangan. In this Samangan there is Rustam’s Throne. On Rustam’s Throne, Zoroaster (Zarathustra), at the age of 30, receives a revelation; and after ten years of worship he reaches the age of 40. For ten years he speaks with the god Ahura Mazda and the Amesha Spentas (Aməša Spənta), compiles the book of the Avesta, and then descends. At the age of 41 he begins to preach and spread Zoroastrianism.
And look: after this, Moses at the age of 41 on Mount Tur, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) in the Cave of Hira—and all these traditions are taken from Zoroastrianism, as stated in the book Kayanids. This book also contains information about the influence of Zoroastrianism on Judaism, later on Christianity, and then on Islam.”
