Persepolis (City of the Persians) was the capital of Achaemenid dynasty king Darius the Great, ruler of Persian Empire between 522–486 BC. Persepolis was built in a region of irregular terrain, on the top of a large (455x300m) man-made terrace. That terrace is located on Marvdasht Plain at foot of Kuh-e Rahmat mountain, 50km northeast of Shiraz, Iran 🇮🇷. The city was the most important of Achaemenid Persian Empire cities, and its ruins are among the best known and most visited archaeological sites in the world. Archaeologists have found some remnants of vast stores left behind by Alexander, including fragments of artifacts much older than Achaemenid period. Objects left behind included clay labels, cylinder seals, stamp seals and signet rings. One of the seals dates to Jemdet Nasr period of Mesopotamia, some 2700 years before Treasury was built. Coins, glass, stone and metal vessels, metal weapons and tools of different periods were also found. Sculpture left behind by Alexander included Greek and Egyptian objects, and votive objects with inscriptions dated from Mesopotamian reigns of Sargon II, Esarhaddon, Ashurbanipal and Nebuchadnezzar II. Historical sources on the city begin with cuneiform inscriptions on clay tablets found within the city itself. In foundation of fortification wall at northeastern corner of the Persepolis terrace, a collection of cuneiform tablets were found where they had been used as fill. Called "fortification tablets", they record disbursement from royal storehouses of food and other supplies. Dated between 509-494 BC, almost all of them are written in Elamite cuneiform although some have Aramaic glosses. A small subset that refers to "dispensed in behalf of king" is known as J Texts. Another, later set of tablets were found in ruins of Treasury. Dated from late years of reign of Darius through the early years of Artaxerxes (492–458 BC), Treasury Tablets record payments to workers, in lieu of a part of or all of the total food ration of sheep, wine or grain. Documents include both letters to Treasurer demanding payment and memoranda saying person had been paid. Record payments were made to wage-earners of various occupations, up to 311 workers and 13 different occupations. Greek writers did not, perhaps surprisingly, write about Persepolis in its heyday, during which time it would have been a formidable opponent and capital of vast Persian Empire. Although scholars are not in agreement, it is possible that aggressive power described by Plato as Atlantis is a reference to Persepolis. But, after Alexander had conquered city, a wide array of Greek and Latin authors like Strabo, Plutarch, Diodorus Siculus, and Quintus Curtius left us many details about sacking of Treasury. Persepolis remained occupied even after Alexander burned it to the ground; Sasanids (224–651 CE) used it as an important city. After that, it fell into obscurity until 15th Century CE, when it was explored by persistent Europeans. Dutch artist Cornelis de Bruijn, published first detailed description of site in 1705. First scientific excavations were conducted at Persepolis by Oriental Institute in 1930s; excavations were thereafter conducted by Iranian Archaeological Service initially led by Andre Godard and Ali Sami. Persepolis was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. 🎥© arkeolojievreni #archaeohistories
