That’s right, the electric light bulb was once advertised in the name of Ahura Mazda, the god of light from Zoroastrianism, born in Balkh, Afghanistan. #history #thomasedison #science #electricity #lightbulb #bulb #edison #america #innovation #ushistory #persian #zoroatrianism #godoflight #ahuramazda #edisonmazda #afghanistan #balkh #baghdad #middleeast #civilisation #farsi #medievalhistory #storytelling #generalelectric #modernscience #invention #ancienthistory #religion
