  • The Anahita Temple at Kangavar
    THE ANAHITA TEMPLE AT KANGAVAR The modern town of Kangavar, the site of the Anahita Temple, is situated midway between Hamadan and Kermanshah, on the main historical Hegmataneh-Ctesphon highway. The Temple has an area of 4.6 hectare and is located on a huge schist outcropping that overlooks the Kangavar plain. Like a number of other monumental buildings, the Anahita Temple is constructed on a platform, a technique common on the IRanian plateau in historical periods. The town of Kangavar is the principal population center in the vast plain of Kangavar. This fertile plain is surrounded from the north and northwest by the central Zagros ranges. The Chelmaran heights, the main stone quarry of the region, is located on the west, not far from the Temple. High annual precipitation provides the plain with ample irrigation water supplied by natural springs and the Gamasab river, the confluence of the Khurram-rud, the Asadabad, and te Kangavar rivers. As in many regions in Iran, these rivers and the natural springs have played an important role in the cultural development of the Kangavar plain from prehistoric to the present time. The flourishing prehistoric cultures of Seh-Gabi and Godin, whose type sites are located northeast of Kangavar, and the latter's economic and cultural contact with Susa are indicative of the importance of the region from the early Neolithic to the late Chalcolithic period. Southern view of Anahita Temple The strategic geographical location of the plain also played an important role as the commercial highway and locus of contact between the cultural centers on the west and east streching as far as Khorasan and China.

EERI, [email protected] 2 Structural Engineering Department, SAZEH Consultants, Iran 3 Oil, Petrochemical, Mineral & Metallurgical Department, International Goods Inspection Company 1. Introduction: Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major faults [Figure 1]. The earthquake of the evening of November 12, 2017 with a moment magnitude of 7.3 has been one of the destructive earthquakes over the past two decades in Iran. This earthquake was felt over more than a half of the country and resulted in a large number of casualties in Kermanshah province (436 people according to the latest statistics published) in addition to extensive financial losses. Figure 1. Iran’s earthquakes map from 7 to 17-Jan 2018 [1] The earthquake epicenter was located 10 kilometers south of Ezgele and about 37 kilometers northwest of Sarpol-e-Zahab with approximately 18 kilometers in depth. According to some official reports three foreshocks with magnitudes ranging from 1.9 to 4.5, and 526 aftershocks with magnitudes of 1.8 to 4.7 (until 28-Nov-2017 noon) have been recorded. The distribution of aftershocks, despite the relatively high dispersion, still implies a trend in the northwest-southeast parallel to the trend of major faults of the region, such as the mountain forehead fault (MFF) of the high Zagros fault (HZF) as figure 2.

  • New Evidence on the Chronology of the “Anahita Temple”
    Iranica Antiqua, vol. XLIV, 2009 doi: 10.2143/IA.44.0.2034383 NEW EVIDENCE ON THE CHRONOLOGY OF THE “ANAHITA TEMPLE” BY Massoud AZARNOUSH (Iranian Center for Archaeological Research, Tehran) Abstract: Partly standing-partly excavated remains of a monument in Kangavar, a town in western Iran between Hamadan and Kermanshah, have been dated to the Seleucid and/or Parthian periods. In an article published in 1981, nevertheless, M. Azarnoush argues in favour of a late Sasanian date for this site. The discovery of a brick under the massive masonry of the western platform of the monument in the course of later excavations provided the possibility for thermoluminescence dating of this sample. The TL reading of the brick confi rms the Sasanian date of the monument. The present article intends to assess this and some other new information about the site. Keywords: W-Iran, Kangavar, Anahita Temple, Sasanian, chronology I- Introduction In an article published in 1981, I argued in favour of a late Sasanian date for the monument of Kangavar, frequently labelled the “Anahita Temple” (Azarnoush 1981: 69-94, Pl. 12-19). By that time I had completed two seasons of excavations on this site, following fi ve seasons of work headed by Seyfollâh-e Kâmbakhsh-e Fard, another Iranian archaeologist of whose expeditions I am certainly honoured to have been a member. Reasons backing the new chronology may be outlined in the following: – Isidor of Charax is the oldest author who mentions the presence of an Artemis Temple in Concobar, most probably the Greek pronunciation for the Iranian Kangavar.

The Firuzabad earthquake killed 132 and injured about 200 people in 170 villages. It affected an area of 1,100 square kilometres -within which 2,500 housing units were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The earthquake had its macroseismic epicentre somewhat southeast of the 1957 earthquake and the shock was felt over an area of 80,000 square kilometres. The damage pattern from the Firuzabad earthquake did not resemble that of the 1957 shock, in that the Firuzabad earthquake affected a smaller region but was the more intense of the two. In contrast, the 1957 earthquake had a somewhat more moderate surface intensity over a much wider area. The Firuzabad earthquake was associated with a fault-zone at least 20 kilometres long. This earthquake and the seismic events of the previous year as well as the aftershocks of the 21st of September 1958, show quite clearly a progressive expansion of seismic activity along a northwest-south- west axis in the Zagros mountains.
