Default Do Zoroastrianism and Judaism have the same origin?

How did they develop separately if they shared the same geographical area during the same time period?

I'm not sure if they are even similar enough to compare, other than they developed in the same..general area.

Zoroastrianism came before Judaism. Judaism borrows from Zoroastrian. Zoroastrianism influenced most if not all monotheistic religions in the region.

It is the same process with Christianity, borrow other peoples ideas because it helps assimilated them, like Easter and Christmas, both pagan in origin. Halos on angels came from Egyptian gods.

Nope- in fact, many of the primary tenants of Judaism are the opposite of what is believed in Zaroastianism. Zaroastianism is dualistic, Judaism monotheistic.

Also, Zaroastianism would have been borrowing from Judaism- Judaism dates from 2000 BC, Zaroastianism is a between 500 and 1000 years younger than Judaism.
