Thanks Graeme Bartlett for clarifying the Sassanian "Kings of the Earth" that was previously mentioned without clarification in the article. But still some things are not clear to me. If you're familiar with the topic, is it a painting that was described by Yaqut al-Hamawi? Also, is it lost or something? Because the passage emphasised its being recorded by Yaqut, not the fact that it exists in Kermanshah. What kind of painting is that, or any idea how/where to find more information?

I read the reference supplied, the reference that used (which need a bit of translation from German). You will need to read the old Arabic reference written by Yaqut al-Hamawi to see what that says. So the painting seemed to be described by Yaqut and may have existed 800 years ago, but probably not any more, otherwise the more modern authors would have mentioned it, or used it to compare. The English reference basically dismissed the German explanation. Trying to find out who the "Kings of the Earth" were, I only came up with the mention in the Revelation of John. But really I don't know if that is what Yakut was talking about. You will have to read the actual Mu'jam al-Buldan, which is the Wikipedia equivalent of the year 1228.
