Summary

| Description |
Even from a distance, the columns that supported the elaborate (and flammable!) ceilings of the Achaemenid palace at Persepolis in Iran are impressive due to their mere size and miraculous suvrival over the centuries since Alexander the Great's forces torched the palace after defeating the Persian Achaemenid Empire. The Achaemenid Empire's dates were ca. 550 - 330 BCE. And yet, these columns, impressive as they are, give no hint of the magnificent ruins that lie atop the man-made platform on which the palace and related buildings were situated. |
