We spent hours there, the weather was very hot and the scorching sun could burn my face and dehydrate us, so I threw my shawl over my head so that I could continue on my way.

Large platforms were for inscriptions or a place for altars



There are several types of brick platforms in the exterior of Chaghazanbil, one of them is round and has an arch.
These places were built to keep inscriptions and statues
Of course, these platforms were built as altars according to other people's belief, and who knows what the truth of the story was?
