The Ka'ba-ye Zartosht (alt: ''Kaba-ye Zardusht'', ''Kaba-ye Zardosht'', (ペルシア語:کعبه زرتشت)), meaning the "Cube of Zoroaster," is a 5th century B.C.E. Achaemenid-era tower-like construction at Naqsh-e Rustam, an archaeological site just northwest of Persepolis, Iran. This enigmatic structure is one of many surviving examples of the Achaemenid architectural design. The name ''Ka'ba-ye Zartosht'' probably dates to the 14th century,〔.〕 when many pre-Islamic sites were identified with figures and events of the Qur'ān or the Shāhnāme. The structure is not actually a Zoroastrian shrine, nor are there reports of it ever having been a pilgrimage site. The structure, which is a copy of a sister building at Pasargadae,〔.〕 was built either by Darius I (''r.'' 521–486 BCE) when he moved to Persepolis, by Artaxerxes II (''r.'' 404–358 BCE) or Artaxerxes III (''r.'' 358–338 BCE). The building at Pasargadae is a few decades older. The wall surrounding the tower dates to Sassanid times.〔 ==Physical attributes== (詳細はMortar was not used in its construction. Each side of the building is 7.25 m wide. The 12.5 m high structure has a slightly pyramidal roof and stands on a 1.5 m high three-stepped plinth. Each face of the building is decorated with slightly recessed false windows of black limestone. The structure has one square inner chamber, 5.70 m high and 3.70 m wide, access to which is through a doorway with a decorated lintel in the upper half of the tower. The chamber once accessible by a flight of steps, only the lower half of which has survived. The 1.70 m wide and 1.90 m high door was of solid stone that was originally firmly closed but has since disappeared. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ka'ba-ye Zartosht」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
