Abstract
This paper examines the systematic transfer of Avestan sacred geography and Zoroastrian theological heritage from its eastern Iranian origins—central Afghanistan, the Bamiyan Valley, and Balkh—to western Iran during the Sasanian period. Through textual transmission, archaeological evidence, and population genetics (Y-DNA Haplogroup J2a1-Page55), the study demonstrates that the Sasanian Empire deliberately rewrote the Avesta, relocated toponyms, and redefined Zoroaster's birthplace. The study concludes that the Āzrah (Hazara) people preserved 25–35% of the core Avestan vocabulary in their Hazaragi dialect despite repeated imperial assaults.
