I would need to know who that author was. 
 
Palmer Hall, in his book Twelve World Teachers, arrives at a rough estimate ranging from 10,000 B.C. to 1000 B.C. 
 
Yima Khshaeta (Jamshid) was said to have reigned for 1200 years
 
Is it possible that these reigns applied to a state, more like Yima was a last name. 
 
Zoroaster lived before the time of the Median Empire. 
 
Often times, I notice that the words like, Manuchihar, Mobad, Magus,  Magian, Magi, Mada, Median are cognates.  According to the Irano-Aryan tradition that I am aware of, Manuchihar is a patriarch that is placed before Zoroaster, and that both Zoroaster-Aspa and Visht-Aspa were his descendants.   Would you say that this detracts from you're conclusion?

While Hall was considered a scholar of mysticism, he was no historian.  His "rough estimate" was probably based upon the guesses of others, and even then, his 9000-year date-range is not even a "rough estimate". 
 
Yima Khshaeta (Jamshid) was said to have reigned for 1200 years

No.  The context of the texts themselves as well as how they were understood in later works make it quite clear that the subject was a person, not a state.
 
Zoroaster lived before the time of the Median Empire. 
 
Often times, I notice that the words like, Manuchihar, Mobad, Magus,  Magian, Magi, Mada, Median are cognates.  According to the Irano-Aryan tradition that I am aware of, Manuchihar is a patriarch that is placed before Zoroaster, and that both Zoroaster-Aspa and Visht-Aspa were his descendants.   Would you say that this detracts from you're conclusion? 
 
I don't see how this detracts from my conclusion.  The original of Manuchihar was Manuschithra.  This is none other than the Manu of the Vedas, just as Yima Khshaeta was the Yama of the Vedas.  Otherwise I don't see how they are even cognates, since either we don't know their meaning or  they have different meanings.

Did the Magus appear before Zoroaster or after Zoroaster?

The Gathas make no mention of magi, although they were the Zoroastrian priests of a later period.  The later portion of the Avesta almost certainly seems to have been written by magi since what the practices they describe are what the magi were said to have actually practiced.  There are many theories as to their origin as well as to their nature, and even that there was two kinds of magi.  While Herodotus describes them as a Median tribe, they were also found among other Iranic peoples.   It may be that they were simply a caste with a unique tradition and mandate among the Medes and other Iranic peoples, in the same way that the "tribe" of the Levites were for the Hebrews.  While we find the form mogu in the Avesta, it seems that the term magu was a development of this term, which probably originally meant "gift", and thus it seems that they came after Zoroaster.

Would a lexicon of IE. reconstructions or sister IE. tongues, contain the cognates that were ommitted from the non-fragmented Gathas?

Are there probably cognates that were lost to reconstructionists, too?

Almost certainly.  If the Gathas do not represent the sum of the entire Avestan language, than there would have been a wealth of non-represented words which were both Avestan and with IE root meanings.

As in all other IE languages, this would have been the case.  As speakers of languages migrate to other parts of the world, they adopt words of the native cultures they encounter.  Some of their vocabulary become lost in favor of these new words.  This can be readily observed in the comparative linguistics of all IE languages.  Ancient Greek, for instance, already shows adoptions from a non-Greek language, just as Sanskrit shows that it had already adopted Munda and Dravidian vocabulary.  It would have been the same for Avestan.

Are the words Keresa Khshaeta or Khorashan, Kaligat, Callcutta, Helios Christos, and the sun Christ, Christian, cognates, specifically, the, latter, morpheme?

No.  Greek, Christos is a literal tranliteration of Hebrew mashiakh, "Messiah", meaning "anointed one".  Greek, khristos, comes from khrio, "to anoint", from khristai, "oil", hence no relationship with words relating to the sun.  The proto-Indo-European root is *ghey-.

I'm not sure I caught that, fully.  So, is, ghat, in Kali[ghat], and, Christ, cognates of *ghey.  Joseph Shipley has both, Kali, and, ghat, and Christ, down as related to to *gher I.  What do you make of this?  He doesn't seem to have a *ghey listed.

So bartleby states the word, christ, rooted in * gher, unless, it was a missprint, and bartleby states that the same word is rooted in*ghrei.  Could these morphemes be related?

But the Greek word Chrestos is also pronounced Christos. Chestos means "useful" as does the Zoroastrian Savior Saoshyant. Just a sidenote.

I do not recall finding any IE. cognates that are related to the word Saoshyant.  Do you happen to know any IE. cognates?

Bartleby states that the word, christ is rooted in *ghrei, "to rub".  This became  *ghr in centum languages. 
 
As far as any relationship between *ghrei, "to rub" and *ghr, I don't have any information to work with.  All I can say is that Pokorny's reconstructed *gher, means "to rub".
 
 
But the Greek word Chrestos is also pronounced Christos. Chestos means "useful" as does the Zoroastrian Savior Saoshyant. Just a sidenote.
 
But we are not talking about khrestos, we are talking about khristos.  We know both its meaning as well as which word it was meant to represent, specifically, Hebrew meshiakh, "anointed one".  The Greek word was meant to convery the same exact meaning.
 
I do not recall finding any IE. cognates that are related to the word Saoshyant.  Do you happen to know any IE. cognates?
 
Saoshyant means, "one who will bring benefit".  (i.e. "benefactor").  The Old Persian root would be sava, "benefit, salvation", hence related to English word "save", from Latin salvus from IE *sala-wo, from PIE *sol-e, "whole, solid".

No.  The term Safavids is named for the sufi order known as the Safaviyeh, named from their leader Safi al-Din (or Safi ad-Din).  The name Safi is originally Arabic, meaning "pure".

The following is a list of Shipley's forms of PIE.  I placed $ sign by all the PIE forms that I could find a Irano-Aryan cognate for from the list of English, IE., and its Aryan Ancestors, with a slight margin of error.  There are, roughly, 334 Irano-Aryan cognates out of, roughly, 535 PIE roots.  This covers a good deal English's most frequent parts of speech, that resemble the ancient Aryan.  Forumers, please fill in the blanks, where you can.  
 
Are there, generally, more attest Sanskrit morphemes than Avestan or would the unique morphemes in these texts come out to roughly the same amount?  Because, I got the notion that Sanskrit is a wider field.

I think that we've gone far too much away from the subject of this thread.  This should be addressed in the Linguistics subforum.

India was invaded and completely conquered from the north by an Aryan, Iranian, or Cimmerian people using chariots and they instituted the caste (color) system.  India was extremely backward before the new order was instilled in them.  Luckily for India today, they received a good blood transfusion during this time which serves them today.  Otherwise, they would have a civilization roughly equivalent to the aborigines in Australia or Borneo.  These northern peoples were roaming all over the place, for example, the Alans, who were split by the Huns and joined the Germans in their various invasions.  I also regret that Iran was converted over to the Arabic (Semitic) islam, but hopefully, they can shake that off some day and return to their former greatness.
