232 Fire Temple

The Fall of Fire Temples and Camel Caravans.

The Fall of Fire Temples and Camel Caravans in the Land of Naphtha

Single room with gold and warm fire colours. With Robert Nobel buying some refineries on Baku, the city remains a trading post for camel caravans heading between China and Europe. Out of the ground flows oil and burning gases. Here and there in the mountain crevices there are great flames of fire and the prevailing religion is called Zoroastrianism. The Zoroastrians gather in the temple to worship the fire god Ahura Mazda five times a day. But the effect of Nobel's extraction of oil will be a lowered gas pressure in the temples, in the altar and in the mountains. As a result, the fire fails the faithful Zoroastrians, while the Nobel brothers extract a quarter of the world's oil production.
