The third paragraph (discussion of legend) is disorganized (writing). There is a poor, and somewhat confusing, flow of information. The information is good, it just should be re-arranged.JSteinbeck2 (talk) 14:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I reorganized the article a bit and also made a few factual changes. Though there still is room for improvement.

The hill is not a volcanic crater, but (just like Zendan-e Suleiman nearby) the result of lots calcium-rich water flowing out of a spring for many many years.
The somewhat round fortification seems to just follow the rim of the hill. If the layout of the fortification is indeed the result of Sassanid-era city planning, there is certainly a better source than just a short mention in an encyclopedia article about Baghdad.
Whether "Takht-e ..." is a semitic or indo-european name is beside the point. What is more relevant is that an originally Zoroastrian site now has a name that is related to someone from the old testament (or, more to the point, from the Quran).
The site is currently fortified, but originally (e.g. 10000 years ago) was not.
