Temple of Garni. Храм в Гарни́

The Temple of Garni (Armenian: Գառնիի տաճար, Gaṙnii tačar) is the only standing Greco-Roman colonnaded building in Armenia and the former Soviet Union. Built in the Ionic order, it is located in the village of Garni, in central Armenia. It is the best-known structure and symbol of pre-Christian Armenia.
The structure was probably built by king Tiridates I in the first century AD as a temple to the sun god Mihr. After Armenia's conversion to Christianity in the early fourth century, it was converted into a royal summer house of Khosrovidukht, the sister of Tiridates III. According to some scholars it was not a temple but a tomb and thus survived the destruction of pagan structures. It collapsed in a 1679 earthquake. Renewed interest in the 19th century led to excavations at the site in early and mid-20th century, and its eventual reconstruction between 1969 and 1975, using the anastylosis method. It is one of the main tourist attractions in Armenia and the central shrine of Hetanism (Armenian neopaganism).
The precise construction date of the temple is unknown and is subject to debate. In Armenian historiography, the dominant view is that it was built in 77 AD, during the reign of king Tiridates I of Armenia. This view has been accepted by some scholars. The date is calculated based on a Greek inscription, discovered by the painter Martiros Saryan in July 1945 at the Garni cemetery, recently brought from a nearby water mill. It names Tiridates the Sun (Helios Tiridates) as the founder of the temple. Early medieval historian Movses Khorenatsi incorrectly attributed the inscription to Tiridates III. Most scholars now attribute the inscription to Tiridates I.
The following includes an image of the inscription as it stands near the temple today, its textual reconstruction by Ashot G. Abrahamian, an English translation by James R. Russell, and an alternative reading and translation by Poghos Ananian, translated into English by Vrej Nersessian.
