Excellent thought. And for that matter, why didn't God support the Pharaoh Akhenaten when he tried to introduce monotheism to Egypt long before Moses?

yeah the Zoroastrians are not pure Monotheists.. . They have a deity for good and one for evil. That would make the dualist's

I wouldn't call the Zoroastrians monotheists, at least not technically. Angra Mainyu is a god (not a devil). I would call Zoroastrianism dualist. . . But I would agree that Zoroastrianism had a significant impact on the monotheism of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions.
