The region of Takht-e-Soleyman was considered sacred, worship was conducted there even prior to the arrival of the Sasanians. Around the Zendan-e-Soleyman area, the remains of temples and shrines have been discovered. These traces of structures have been dated to the 1 st millennium B.C., and are associated with the Manas, rulers of the region between the 9 th and 7 th centuries B.C. The volcanic crater was once full of water but later dried out, a feature that probably attracted the Manas to build their temples and shrines there.
