Pasargada
Maybe the most suprising thing about the Tomb of Cyrus the Great is that today is seems to be in the middle of nowhere. And of course that these stones are still on top of each other after some 2500 years.

Nagh-e Rostam
Nagh-e Rostam. The Roman Emperor captured by the Persian King.

Persepolis
Unicorns. An interesting change from the Greek versions.

Persepolis
Iranians like covering their women… this is some 1300 years before Islam!
