PERSEPOLIS PERSPOLIS The site's Iranian name is Takht-e-Jamshid, "The throne of Jamshid", amythical King of Iran. The ancient name is "Parsa", "Pars's Town".Provincial of Fars. Altitude 1,800 meters, 60 km N-E of Shiraz on anexcellent road, 420 km S of Esfahan on a good road. International airportat Shiraz. National airport at Persepolis.A large bare plain, surrounded by mauve cliffs with sharp edges. It isthere, in the center of the Marv Dasht basin, that Cyrus the Great chose,toward the end of the his reign, to build under the shelter of a fold inthe mountains, a palace worthy of the Empire. It was named Parsa,but later under subsequent Greek influence became known as Persepolis,"The city of the Persians".   "The Gate of All Nations, Takt-e-Jamshid (Persepolis) "You go to Pasargarde to contemplate, in the solitude of Land deserted for the past two thousand years, the tomb of Cyrus, the founder of an Empire. But youfirst go through Naqsh-e-Rostam is a sort of "Valley of Kings", dominatedby tall ochre-colored cliffs, cracked and wrinkled by the wind with half-way up,the cross-shaped cavities of the tombs cut right into the stone.  "Tomb of Cyrus the Great, Pasargad, Fars Province"Without going into detail the following excursion site are worthy of mentions:Bishahpur(140 km to the West on the Ahvaz road), a large archaeological site ingorgeous mountain setting, with the remnants of the palace of the Sassanid KingShahpur (241-272 A.D.), the Qalaeh-ye Dokhtar Gorges, controlled by an impressivesystem of fortifications erected in the 10th and 11th centuries (near Firouzabad,110km South of Shiraz); other Sassanid fortresses near Fasa (170 km to the S-E);farther on the same road, in the direction of Darab (280 km of Shiraz) fortifiedenclosures, bas reliefs and at Darab proper, a que, cross-shaped mosque hewn outof the rock.  "The Southern face of the Gate of All Nations" The many buildings which make up Persepolis are on an artificial terrace about 300 metres long and 450 meters wide, between 10 and 20 meters above ground-level. You reach the terrace by a monumental double staircase.  "Persepolis" The gaunt beauty of the Mountains, the immense landscape, the deep silence which pervades,the site remote from any village, are appropriate for the sacred character of this necropolis sheltering the tombs of the main Achaemenian Sovereigns (Cyrus lies in solitudeat Pasargadae). From right to left, the tombs are those of Xerxes, Darius the Great Artaxerxes I and Darius II. Darius the Great's Tomb is larger than the others.
