Thalatta Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Although I've argued for the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus for the Achaemenid Wonder (being much taller), along the Hanging Gardens as a starting Wonder (both being among the seven Wonders of the Ancient World): 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalatta Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago If the religion to be represented is Zoroastrianism, the fire-holder could look more like this (coinciding with the "three-stepped top and base" description given in https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/achaemenid-religion): Sadly, it's not really known how Achaemenid temples looked like. Zoroastrian fire-holders seemed to be in the open, while, regarding some towers that were previously thought as temples, "the hypothesis positing a religious function for the tower-temples in the Urartian period is generally accepted, despite certain differences in the architectural environment of several of them; by contrast, the function of the two Achaemenid towers remains totally enigmatic. The only hypothesis that is not a matter of contention, as a result of both environment and architecture, is that of a deposit for objects, very probably of a royal and not a religious nature", from Studies on the Architecture and Archaeology of the Achaemenid Empire, by R. Dan. It is also thought that other religions were influential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
