Plato : Agent of Persia

Platonism mirrors Persian Zoroastrianism's 'Gathic monotheism' almost entirely (more in the Persian Connection show 10/25/25). We know he traveled in, and got "ideas" from the east and others who traveled there as well. Such as Heraclitus and Pythagoras. But is there direct evidence tying Plato with Persia (enemies of Greece)?

The answer is yes. Seneca wrote the following:

"Plato completed eighty-one years of life and died on his birthday, not a day short. For that reason, some Persian Magi, who happened to be in Athens, made burnt offerings to him after his death, believing that since he had completed the most perfect number (9×9), his fate was of more than humankind. Well, I expect you would not mind giving up a few days from that total, and the sacrifice as well."
- Letters on Ethics to Lucilius - Letter 58 Line 31

Why were high priests and agents of Persia in Athens giving sacrifices to plato? The excuse "9×9=81 lol" is likely to cover-up plato being an agent against his folk.

Magi were present on his funeral, that part is true. The rest sounds only like a bad interpretation I'd say. Claims like that need a lot more evidence if you ask me

Monument 9: a 2,600-year-old Olmec carving on view at the Museo Regional de los Pueblos de Morelos in Cuernavaca, not far from the archaeological zone from which it was looted six decades ago. In its time the stone would have been used as a portal for priests and rulers to pass into the underworld. “It is as if it were a door that is transiting between dimensions other than the one in which the human being lives as a human,” Carolina Meza, chief archaeologist at the Chalcatzingo ruins, said
