Persepolis
In the minds of many, the ancient city of Persepolis represents a golden age of
Persian art and architecture. It recalls the glory of a great civilisation
once grander and mightier than that of the Greeks or Romans. In fact,
Greek and Roman architects tried to emulate the construction of Persepolis, but
could never quite duplicate the width between the columns or the steps at
Apadana, for example.
Persepolis was
founded around 518 B.C. by King Darius I. While many scholars believe
that, like the ancient Egyptian kings commissioning the pyramids, Darius wished
to construct the city as a testimonial to the strength of his Achaemenian Empire
(and to a great extent they are correct), the city was also intended as a
spiritual centre. The main religion practised in Persia at the time was
Zoroastrianism. King Darius I claimed that "Ahuramazda was of such a mind,
together with all the other gods, that this fortress (should) be built. And (so)
I built it."
