If we search at "Zand-i Vohuman Yasht" CHAPTER 3, 34

We will find the following passage.

34.
'And then Mihr of the vast cattle-pastures cries thus: "Of these nine thousand years' support, which during its beginning produced Dahak [Zohak] of evil religion, Frasiyav of Tur, and Alexander the Ruman, the period of one thousand years of those leather-belted demons with disheveled hair is a more than moderate reign to produce

Lets see now what Prof. S. Eddy from University of Nebraska has to tell us about the above passage.

"it must follow that at least a part of the Bahman Yasht, the detailed picture of the apocalyptic conditions brought about by a successful invasion of Iran by foreigners, existed before the time of Ardashir I. But the Bahman Yasht must therefore also have said something of the invasion. In fact it does, and twice names its leader as Alexander the Great. He was not at all a threat to Sassanid prophets living more than half a millennium after his death. The name Alexander, then, is further evidence of Hellenistic date. He is called "Destroyer of the Religion" and "Invader." The first epithet is a parallel to the tradition preserved in the Dinkard, the second to the Sibylline Oracle. Furthermore, the rank and file of the aggressors are once identified as Yunan, which is ancient Near Eastern usage for "Greeks," derived from the word for "Ionians." This word is a Pahlevi vocalization equivalent to Old Persian Yaunā , Elamite Iauna, Hebrew Yāwān, and Hindu Yavanā. Sassanid writers, however, usually referred to Greeks as Rūmi.

It is true that the Bahman Yasht sometimes says that the invaders come from Rum. That is Sassanid editing. It sometimes indicates that they are Muslims. That is post-Sassanid editing. The apocalypse normally refers to them by the cryptic title, "The Demons with Dishevelled Hair of the Race of Wrath." This, from the old Persian point of view, was a good characterization"

Conclusion: Ancient Persian Zoroastrian texts verified what we and the ancient people already know. Alexander the Great was Greek!!!
