From
Persepolis, our bus took us to Naqshe Rostam, about 10 km to the northwest.
This precipitous cliff is one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring sites
of the ancient Achaemenid Empire, consisting of the colossal tombs of several
Persian kings dating to the 4th and 5th centuries BCE as
well as several reliefs carved by the Sasanians in the 3rd century
CE.
