Several archeological excavations have been undertaken since 1968 in the remains of a historic monument in Kangavar. Nevertheless, there is significant disagreement on its origin and function. It is hypothesized to be a Mithraic temple or a palace. Some say it was built in the Achaemenid period and used until the end of Sassanid period, while others maintain that it was built in the mid or late Sassanid period. This paper reviews all available literature on this monument. The historic geography books and travel accounts are first reviewed. Then, recent books, reports and papers are examined. This indicates that some modern hypotheses are based on repeated quotations from unverified suppositions of earlier writers leading to the current dispute.
