Persepolis Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

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.
This photo however was taken in the Louvre museum, for some reason the best and most preserved exhibits have been taken out of country and on permanent display in Paris!
