Persepolis or Perseus (or Persepolis) is one of the ancient cities of Iran, which has been the capital of the glorious kingdom of Iran during the Achaemenid Empire for many years. In this ancient city there is a palace called Persepolis that was built during the reign of Darius the Great, Xerxes and Ardeshir I, and has been around for about 200 years. On the first day of the New Year, a number of different countries from different countries representing satraps or governorates gathered in diverse pretexts in Persepolis and presented their gifts to the Shah.
In 518 BCE, the construction of Persepolis began as the new Achaemenid capital in Pars. The founder of Persepolis Dariush was great, after which his son Xerxes and his dear Artaxerxes I added to the expansion of the complex. Many of the available knowledge of the Achaemenid background and their culture is available due to stones and metal inscriptions that were engraved in these palaces and on the walls and plaques.
The historians believe that Alexander the Great, Macedonian Commander of Greece, invaded Iran in 330 BC, burning Persepolis and possibly destroying a huge part of the inscriptions, Achaemenid art and culture. Nevertheless, the ruins of this place are still under construction, and archaeologists confirm the signs of fire and invasion from the ruins. Since 1979, it has been one of the recordings of Iran's UNESCO World Heritage Site.
