Category talk:Khorheh Mansion

@Orijentolog: In this edition you removed the category of "[[Category:Temples in Iran]]" claiming that "It was not a temple, that's outdated.". While you did not provide any reliable references or citations, the official name of the site is still "Temple of Khorheh" in Persian sources. FaraM 01:01, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Summarized, in 1941 Herzfeld conjectured that it was a Hellenistic Seleucid temple dedicated to Dionysos, and in 1971 Schippmann assumed it to be a Parthian temple, however, according to Lecuyot and Rahbar research in 1999, it is without a doubt an aristocratic construction of the Parthian period. Next time, trust me, (Iranian) son. ;) --Orijentolog (talk) 01:24, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

@Orijentolog: Thank you. I appreciate your time and effort. I'll go over the English and Persian sources as I'm seriously curious to know more about it. Don't get me wrong, I would be more than happy to hear the fact that the site is an actual instance of Parthian architecture; as you may know not too many architectural evidence from that era have remained. Regarding trusting you next time [without any reference or citation], I'm afraid to say that I cannot trust anything without following through the scientifically accepted methodologies and rational explanations! ;) So, sorry in advance if I bother you some other time in future again :) FaraM 02:43, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
