Revered fire

We tried to identify the remains of the Zoroastrian fire temple. Unfortunately, but perhaps hardly surprisingly, it is one of the least preserved houses of worship in Ani. We believe these were the ruins of the temple, but they weren't easily found.





Contrary to my romantic suppositions, it doesn't seem to have been fed by surface-oil wells, like the temple in Baku, either. Even if there is supposed to be oil exploration taking place in the Kars area...
