Naqsh-e Rostam

Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran

NAQSH-E ROSTAM (meaning Throne of Rostam) is an ancient necropolis located about 12 km to the northwest of Persepolis, the capital of the former Achaemenid (Persian) Empire, and a few hundred meters from Naqsh-e Rajab.

Four colossal tombs of Persian kings, dating back to the first millennium BC (4th and 5th centuries BC), are carved out of the rock face at a considerable height above the ground.
