Some have speculated his Island Temple resembles a Zoroastrian fire temple : Ateshgah Temple, Baku "This territory is known for such unique natural phenomenon as burning natural gas outlets (underground gas coming onto surface contacts oxygen and lights up). From times immemorial this was the holy place of Zoroastrians- fire worshippers (approximately beginning of our era). They attributed mystical significance to the inextinguishable fire and came there to worship the relic."

Personally I think they use an amalgamation of sacred symbols sites (Dome of the Rock color and gold dome) and architecture rather than use singular religious or historical inspiration but, I recognized that connection too.
