Naqsh-e Rustam نقش رستم is an ancient necropolis located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis, in Fars Province, Iran. In Naghsh-e Rostam we can see four tombs and one building from Achaemenid dynasty with a group of ancient Iranian rock reliefs cut into the cliff, from Sassanid dynasty; the last important relief is from Elam dynasty and it dates back to 1000 BC.
Naqsh-e Rustam is the necropolis of the Achaemenid dynasty (500-330 BC), with four large tombs cut high into the cliff face. These have mainly architectural decoration, but the facades include large panels over the doorways, each very similar in content, with figures of the king being invested by a god, above a zone with rows of smaller figures bearing tribute, with soldiers and officials.
The three classes of figures are sharply differentiated in size. The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus.
Well below the Achaemenid tombs, near ground level, are rock reliefs with large figures of Sassanian kings, some meeting gods, others in combat. The most famous shows the Sassanian king Shapur I on horseback, with the Roman Emperor Valerian bowing to him in submission, and Philip the Arab (an earlier emperor who paid Shapur tribute) holding Shapur's horse, while the dead Emperor Gordian III, killed in battle, lies beneath it (other identifications have been suggested).
This commemorates the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD, when Valerian became the only Roman Emperor who was captured as a prisoner of war, a lasting humiliation for the Romans. The placing of these reliefs clearly suggests the Sassanid intention to link themselves with the glories of the earlier Achaemenid Empire.

Iran Naqsh e Rustam
Naqsh-e Rustam (in Persian: نقش رستم Nāqš-e Rostām) is an archaeological site located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis, in Fars province, Iran. Naqsh-e Rustam lies a few hundred meters from Naqsh-e Rajab.
The oldest relief at Naqsh-i Rustam is severely damaged and dates to c. 1000 BCE. It depicts a faint image of a man with unusual head-gear and is thought to be Elamite in origin. The depiction is part of a larger mural, most of which was removed at the command of Bahram II. The man with the unusual cap gives the site its name, Naqsh-e Rostam, Picture of Rostam, because the relief was locally believed to be a depiction of the mythical hero Rostam.
Four tombs belonging to Achaemenid kings are carved out of the rock face. They are all at a considerable height above the ground.
The tombs are known locally as the 'Persian crosses', after the shape of the facades of the tombs. The site is known as salīb in Arabic (صليب), perhaps a corruption of the Persian word chalīpā, cross. The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto to a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus. The horizontal beam of each of the tomb's facades is believed to be a replica of the entrance of the palace at Persepolis.
One of the tombs is explicitly identified by an accompanying inscription to be the tomb of Darius I (r. 522-486 BCE). The other three tombs are believed to be those of Xerxes I (r. 486-465 BCE), Artaxerxes I (r. 465-424 BCE), and Darius II (r. 423-404 BCE) respectively. A fifth unfinished one might be that of Artaxerxes III, who reigned at the longest two years, but is more likely that of Darius III (r. 336-330 BCE), last of the Achaemenid dynasts.
The tombs were looted following the conquest of the Achaemenid empire by Alexander the Great.
Nagsh-e Rostam, Iran
Naqsh-e Rostam is an archaeological site with tombs and bas-reliefs in Iran. It is located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis in Fars province. The site is also called the ' necropolis ' of Persepolis. The name Naqsh-e Rostam is submitted by the local Bedouins. They thought that the hero Rostam from the Persian mythology was depicted on the bas-reliefs. The location contains four tombs of Achaemenid kings namely: Darius I, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I and Darius II. Their tombs are handsome in the cliff face and have the shape of a cross. The tombs are in the course of the centuries by looters cleared out. Further there are six reliefs from the time of the Sassanids. These include by Shapur I, Adashir I and Bahram II. The location also includes a free-standing construction: the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht or cube of the Zoroastriërs, which is not clear for which it is built. This tower is 12 metres high.

The Royal Rock Tombs at Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran
The Royal Rock Tombs at Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran
Naqsh-e Rostam or The Throne of Rustam is an ancient burial site for Persian Kings located 12 km northwest of Persepolis in Fars Province, Iran. There are four tombs carved in the cliffs in cross shapes, all lying about 10-20 meters above the ground. The tombs are said to be those of Darius II, Artaxerxes I, Darius I and Xerxes I. At the Naqsh-e Rostam site there are also some bas-reliefs carved in the rock representing war scenes and royal events. The Kaba-ye Zartosht tower is a cubical structure thought to be either a royal tomb, a calendar or a treasury.
The oldest relief at Naqsh-e Rustam dates to c. 1000 BC. Though it is severely damaged, it depicts a faint image of a man with unusual head-gear and is thought to be Elamite in origin. The depiction is part of a larger mural, most of which was removed at the command of Bahram II. The man with the unusual cap gives the site its name, Naqsh-e Rostam, Rostam Inscription, because the relief was locally believed to be a depiction of the mythical hero Rostam.
The tombs are known locally as the 'Persian crosses', after the shape of the facades of the tombs. The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto to a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus. The horizontal beam of each of the tomb's facades is believed to be a replica of the entrance of the palace at Persepolis.
One of the tombs is explicitly identified by an accompanying inscription as the tomb of Darius I the Great (c. 522-486 BC). The other three tombs are believed to be those of Xerxes I (c. 486-465 BC), Artaxerxes I (c. 465-424 BC), and Darius II (c. 423-404 BC) respectively. A fifth unfinished one might be that of Artaxerxes III, who reigned at the longest two years, but is more likely that of Darius III (c. 336-330 BC), last of the Achaemenid dynasts. The tombs were looted following the conquest of the Achaemenid Empire by Alexander the Great.
Kab'eh-ye Zardusht, or the Cube of Zoroaster, is a mysterious structure below the rock-cut tombs in the cliff face. Although steps lead up to a hollow chamber, the windows are solid rock. It is known as the cube of Zoroaster because it may have been a Zoroastrian fire temple. It may also have been a tomb: but if it was a tomb why isn't it like the others at the site.
In 1923, the German archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld made casts of the inscriptions on the tomb of Darius I. Since 1946, these casts have been held in the archives of the Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, DC. Naqsh-e Rustam was excavated for several seasons between 1936 and 1939 by a team from the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, led by Erich Schmidt.

Naghshe Rostam, Shiraz, Iran
Naghsh-e Rostam 2008 نقش رستم
Naghsh-e Rostam is situated some five kilometers north of Persepolis, the capital of the ancient Achaemenid empire. It was already a place of some importance when king Darius I the Great (522-486) ordered his monumental tomb to be carved into the cliff.
Later, three Achaemenid tombs and eight Sasanian reliefs were added, seven of them are recognizable.
The oldest monument at Naghsh-e Rostam (the carvings by [the legendary hero] Rostam) is not fully understood but believed to be Elamite in origin - about 1000 BCE. The original relief was considerably larger but a very large part of it was later removed when the Sasanian king Bahram II ordered an audience relief. This figure with his remarable cap is the only one that survives of the earlier carvings. It proves that Naghsh-e Rostam was already an important place when the Achaemenid rulers started to build their tombs.
The façade of Darius' tomb has the shape of a cross with, in its center, the access to a small chamber, where the king's body was buried. There was room for other people's sarcophaguses. According to the Greek historian Ctesias of Cnidus, Darius' father Hystaspes died during the construction works. In fact, the existence of this tomb is a bit problematic, because many ancient Iranians were Zoroastrians, who did expose their dead to the dogs and vultures. This practice is known from the Achaemenid age, but perhaps not widespread. Alternatively, perhaps the Achaemenid kings were no Zoroastrians at all.
In the upper arm of the cross is a relief, which shows Darius in front of an altar, praying to the supreme god Ahuramazda (who is shown as a winged disk) and sacrificing to the holy fire. Twenty-eight people, representing the subject nations, are carrying the platform on which Darius is standing.
