| | Sobaka :: The Temple of Fumes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | The Fire Temple, alternately known as the Atashgah Temple, the Zarathustra Temple or the Temple of the Fire Worshippers, was, I had thought, one of the great unknown sites in the world. |
 | | The Fire Temple has of course been renovated several times since Zarathustra, prophet of Zoroastrianism and the only messianic figure I know of who was born laughing, rode a cosmic meteor out of town. |
 | | The hotel manager told me the Fire Temple couldn't be reached from Baku's main Metro lines, but it wasn't far at all from the second stop on the passenger train that skirts the edge of the Abseron Peninsula, the thumb of land on which Baku is situated that juts out into the Caspian Sea. |
