PERSIA the ANCIENT IRAN


Naqsh-e Rustam: (äÞÔ ÑÓÊã ) is an archaeological site located about 3 km northwest of Persepolis. Naqsh-e Rustam, contains seven tombs which belongs to Achaemenian kings (550-330 BC). One of those is expressly declared in its inscriptions to be the tomb of Darius I. In addition to tombs, there are also seven gigantic rock carvings in Naqsh-e Rustam, below the tombs, belonging to the Sassanid kings (224-651 AD).
