The so-called Prison of [Solomon](https://www.worldhistory.org/solomon/) (Zendan-i Suleiman), [Pasargadae](https://www.worldhistory.org/Pasargadae/), Iran. A [fire temple](https://www.worldhistory.org/Fire_Temple/), a [tomb](https://www.worldhistory.org/tomb/) or a depository, this now-fragmentary construction continues to defy secure interpretation.
