| 0:00.0 | Imagine an ancient world, long before the world you know, a time before Rome, before Greece, |
| 0:14.0 | before the gods of Olympus, before Odin's ravens took flight, even before the pyramids were built and the pharaohs carved their names into stone. |
| 0:25.6 | There was a fire of a primitive fate, a fire that never died, a flame that flickered in the heart of an ancient prophet, Zoroaster, whose words have shaped the world even to this day. |
