#4What I learned from the article was that Zoroastrians see Fire as sacred. It brings to my mind that the Martians in "Stranger in Strange Land" held Water as sacred. Holy Water, yes that is a commmon notion. Just my random thought.

Initially I thought they wanted to get that "old newspaper" feel, but most pictures in the second half of the article are colored.
So I'm not sure what's the point then.

For many ancient people, water and fire were associated as opposites that nonetheless had some shared properties, and they were usually both objects of respect, with various associated deities.
An interesting example is how in the Ancient Rome the most severe punishment except death, was named the "interdiction of water and fire", which meant banishment, because one could not live in a place without having access to water and fire.

#8I think this is inaccurate:
"like Muslims, they recognize one god "
Although monotheistic, it is not rigorously so as the major Abrahamic religions. It has elements of dualism and other gods.
