# UNESCO fire-sanctuary interpretation prints a shared ritual calendar of fire as cohesion

Date: 2003

## The fact

Takht-e Soleyman and Yazd public interpretation present fire as a shared communal centre. The dated instruments are those listings’ public texts. Cohesion heading of medium confidence for a small community, beside imperial-cult harm.

## Context

A listed fire is not a founder’s match.

[Zoroaster](/people/zoroaster) is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official heritage, encyclopedia, or public Avesta pages and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: UNESCO — Takht-e Soleyman (https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/761/; UNESCO World Heritage Centre).

## Significance

Printed fire-calendar is not a 1890 Aryanist myth.

## What is established and what is not

Established as a dated public record of this instrument.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, and museums are not converted into extra lifetime acts. The attached driver is social-cohesion. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself. Confidence is stated on the impact path. A later English edition is not a recovered autograph. If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.
