Abstract
In Iran, the emergence of fier lies in the heart of mythological narratives and its source dates back to distant times and the evolution of the universe. In addition to the presence of fire in life, there was a place for protection and people for nursing fire, who knew it as the son, light and essence of Ahura. The passing of the ages increased the authority and endurance of this place to the extent that the identity and status of its servants and founders increased and fire temples suitable for social classes appeared. In this descriptive-analytical research based on the library method, we try to find out the origin, dynamics and continuity of these places made by famous people, and also the reason for their sa nctity based on antiquity and climate.The result of this research confirms the fact that the fire temple is an indicator of belief in a deity among the Iranians living in Iranshahr, who, as a creator, guardian and breadwinner, bestowed the best and most meaningful promise of creation on his people. To make prayer and gratitude the top priority of their lives. The similarities and differences around the construction of these places indicate the basis of the mythological and religious archetypes based on the social classes of that time.
