 Darius
the first, the great Achaemenian king, created reorganized and unified
an empire which eventually was larger and more efficiently ruled than any
other the ancient world had seen yet. Darius conceived Persepolis, its
unmatched splendour still evident today, despite the ravages of foreign
invaders and centuries of exposure, as the spiritual hub of the empire.
The building program began by Darius the first (486-522 BC) was carried
by his two immediate successors.
The most important building at Persepolis were crowded onto a
terrace of natural rock that rises 12 meters above the plain on
three sides and abuts a low mountain on the forth side. There
are about fifteen major buildings, including the Apadana, the
Hall of Hundred Columns, the Gate House of Xerxes, the Treasury,
the 'Harem', the so called central building and the majestic
palaces of Darius the Great ,Xerxes, Artaxerxes I and Artaxerxes
III.Persepolis was the side to which the Archaemenid kings came
to celebrate the Iranian New Year, and the achievements of their
ancestors in religious ceremonies, to receive foreign
delegations, and to be buried, until it was burnt to the ground
by Alexander of Macedonia in 330 B.C. The existing remains
consist of stone columns with elaborate bases and capitals,
stone doors and window jambs, and facades and staircases ,many
with splendid bas-reliefs and reliefs sculptures. They make
Persepolis one of the most impressive sites, not just in Iran
but in the whole of the ancient world. |
