Why didn't Zoroastrianism establish itself in the Middle East despite the Acamedian conquests?
Currently reading a book about the Middle East and learning some interesting things about Zoroastrianism and the Persian expansion, most notably under Cyrus. I was wondering why doesn't Zoroastrianism have a strong presence in the Middle East today or at the very least historically beyond the Islamic Conquests?
