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.

Iran_NAGSH-E RAJAB. IRAN.
Naqsh-e Rajab (Persian: نقش رجب, Persian pronunciation: [næɣʃeɾæˈd͡ʒæb]) is an archaeological site just east of Istakhr and about 12 km north of Persepolis in Fars Province, Iran.
Together with Naqsh-e Rustam, which lies less than a kilometer away, the site is part of the Marvdasht cultural complex. Together, the two sites are a tentative candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status.[1]
Naqsh-e Rajab is the site of four limestone rockface inscriptions and rock-cut bas-reliefs that date to the early Sassanid era. One of the carvings is the investiture inscription of Ardeshir I (ruled in 226-241 CE), the founder of the dynasty. The second investiture inscription is Ardeshir's successor, Shapur I (241-272 CE). A third bas-relief, known as 'Shapur's Parade' celebrates the king's military victory in 244 over the Roman emperor Valerian and Philip the Arab. A fourth bas-relief and inscription is attributed to Kartir, high priest under Shapur I and his sons Hormizd I (272-273 CE) and Bahram I (273–276 CE).

Persepolis:Shiraz/Iran
Founded by Darius I in 518 B.C., Persepolis was the capital of the Achaemenid Empire. It was built on an immense half-artificial, half-natural terrace, where the king of kings created an impressive palace complex inspired by Mesopotamian models. The importance and quality of the monumental ruins make it a unique archaeological site.
Persepolis literally meaning city of Persians, was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire (ca. 550–330 BCE). Persepolis is situated 60 km northeast of city of Shiraz in Fars Province in Iran. The earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BCE. It exemplifies the Achaemenid style of architecture. UNESCO declared the ruins of Persepolis a World Heritage Site in 1979.
To the ancient Persians, the city was known as Pārsa. The English word Persepolis is derived from the Greek Persépolis compound meaning Persian city. Due to the belief among Late Antiquity Persians that the monuments were built by Jamshid, the site has been known as Takht-e Jamshid The Throne of Jamshid) since Sassanian times. It is also known as Chehel minar (The Forty Columns/Minarets).
Construction:Archaeological evidence shows that the earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BC. André Godard, the French archaeologist who excavated Persepolis in the early 1930s, believed that it was Cyrus the Great who chose the site of Persepolis, but that it was Darius I who built the terrace and the great palaces.
Darius ordered the construction of the Apadana Palace and the Council Hall (the Tripylon or three-gated hall), the main imperial Treasury and its surroundings. These were completed during the reign of his son, King Xerxes the Great (New-Persian Khashayar, more correctly, 'the greatest/king of the gallant youth/young men'). Further construction of the buildings on the terrace continued until the downfall of the Achaemenid dynasty.
After invading Persia, Alexander the Great sent the main force of his army to Persepolis in the year 330 BC by the Royal Road. Alexander stormed the Persian Gates (in the modern Zagros Mountains), then quickly captured Persepolis before its treasury could be looted. After several months Alexander allowed his troops to loot Persepolis.
In 1971, Persepolis was the main staging ground for the 2,500 year celebration of Iran's monarchy. It included delegations from foreign nations in an attempt to advance Persian culture.Wikipedia

Naqsh-é Rustam, Tumbas de los Reyes Aqueménidas. IRAN
Naqsh-é Rostam. El valle sagrado de los aqueménidas
A 68 Kmts al nordeste de Shiraz. Situado en las cercanías de Persépolis se encuentra uno de los lugares monumentales más impresionantes de Irán. En la escarpada pared rocosa se tallaron cuatro cámaras mortuorias, cubiertas por un frontis cruciforme, aproximadamente de 22 m de ancho por 18 m de alto. Y en las bases de las tumbas se pueden ver unos bajorrelieves del periodo sasánida en los que se representan escenas guerreras, añadidos en la época Sasánida, sigo III a. de C.
Los historiadores del arte han visto claras influencias hurritas; los pueblos del noroeste persa ya enterraban a sus muertos ilustres en hipogeos tallados en la roca.
Tumba de Darío (550-486 a. de C.) Darío el Grande, conquistador y político.
Tumba de Jerjes (486-464 a. de C.) Conquistador y administrador.
Tumba de Artajerjes (464-424 a. de C.) Administrador y político.
Tumba de Darío II (424-405 a. de C.) Comienza el declive aqueménida.
Cuando Jerjes heredó el Imperio persa en el año 486 antes de nuestra era, la gracia de Ahuramazda perecía no conocer límites y el futuro de los aqueménida era desde luego brillante. En una tranquila y fácil transición. El príncipe heredero había recibido, a sus 35 años el trono como justo heredero de Darío el Grande, que había vivido con honor y fallecido de muerte natural.
Jerjes tenía que ser el último Gran Rey pero al finalizar su reinado de 22 años, la falta de previsión de sus predecesores que en total fueron seis los aqueménidas que le siguieron estando estos marcados por las intrigas y derramamientos de sangre internos. Como resultado los cien últimos años de la dominación aqueménida presenciaron la ruina de lo que había sido la mayor aglomeración de poder del mundo antiguo.
En la explanada que se abre frente a las sepulturas destacan los restos de un Templo del Fuego o piréo, el edículo, de forma cuadrada y al que llaman Kaaba de Zoroastro, construcción de roca caliza de 10 metros de alto y con ventanas ciegas en su fechada solo una abertura permite la entrada a su interior. Es uno de los mejor conservados a esas características y en su perímetro de han hecho excavaciones que han sacado a la luz nuevas inscripciones. Se supone que en su interior brillaba la llama eterna, elemento básico de la fe zoroástrica persa estando este fuego al cuidado de los sacerdotes.
Se supone que fue Darío quien la hizo construir.

Iran Day 4+5 - Ruins of Ancient Civilization | Travel Vlog
The archaeological sites of Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat, Persepolis, Naqsh-e-Rajab and Naqsh-e-Rostam were our main destinations on the third part of this series.
While the amount of time we've spent in the towns in between was surely limited, those places were truly amazing and worth the distance we had to go through to get there. Especially the Ziggurat and Naqsh-e-Rostam had a atmosphere to it, that you can rarely find anywhere.
New videos (usually) once or twice a week, whatever my schedule allows.
