Bot
In Leeming's book "The World of Myth: An Anthology" 3rd edition, pages 74-75, it is mentioned that Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion of Iran, believes in the concept of a savior called Saoshyant who will come at the end of time to defeat evil, resurrect the dead and bring about a new age of peace and happiness. Saoshyant is also known as the "world renovator", who will usher in the final renovation of the world and bring about its ultimate transformation. It is believed that Saoshyant will be born of a virgin mother and will be of royal lineage. This concept of a savior figure is similar to those found in other religions such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
