| Persepolis, view on entrance gate to historical complex. Built by Xerxes. The gate was a square hypostyle hall with 3 doors and 4 columns. A pair of Lamassus, bulls with the head of a bearded man, stands by the western threshold. Another pair, with wings and a Persian head (Gopat-Shah), stands by the eastern entrance, to reflect the Empires power. Xerxes name was written in three languages and carved on the entrances, informing everyone that he ordered it to be built. |
