Iran’s Archeology Research Center and a team from Warsaw University are studying the fire temple of Azar Borzin Mehr, a quadric-arch.
Archeologists will work to figure out the plan and elevations of the building as well as the cultural elements of the area. Early studies led to the discovery of a dual-purpose space built in the heights near the temple and used as an ablution room.
The group is also studying the firebox and the main hall, in which worshippers circumambulated the sacred fire.
Azar-Borzin Mehr is one of the three major Zoroastrian fire temples belonging to the Sassanian dynasty (224-651 CE) and was used by farmers and villagers.
The Zoroastrian Sports Committee (ZSC) is proud to announce that the 11th annual Zarathushti Games will be held in the beautiful city of San Diego, California, USA from July 2nd thru July 6th, 2008.
Fellow Zoroastrians,
I am very proud to introduce one of our own, Commander Kurush F. Morris, as the first Zoroastrian Commanding Officer of USS Taylor in the US Navy. Kurush assumed command of USS Taylor (FFG 50) in December 2006. Kurush, we are very proud of your achievements. Kurush and Pashang Patel were the first recipients of the Zoroastrian religious emblem, which encouraged and promoted our “Good Life” program. Kurush is the son of Zhaver and Fred Morris, long time members of ZAGNY, who have moved recently to Jacksonville, Florida. Kurush’s brothers, Murzban and Bezan, also joined the US Navy after graduating from Annapolis Naval Academy.
