The Ka'ba of Zoroaster

The building known as the "ka'ba" of Zoroaster was thought to be a fire temple. Its actual purpose is not known.
On its walls, Shapur I carved out a trilingual inscription in Parthian, Middle Persion and Greek, outlining his genealogy, the extent of his empire and his victories.
