Persepolis is a famous scenic spot in Iran, just like the Great Wall of China. It is located near Takht Jamshid, 52 kilometers northeast of Shiraz. It was ordered by the Persian Empire Darius I to commemorate the successive kings of the Achaemenid kingdom after he ascended the throne. Persepolis was built around 522 BC, and at that time, it not only became a landmark of the Persian Empire, but also stored a lot of wealth. In 330 BC, Alexander the Great captured this place. After the frenzied looting, the entire palace was burnt to the ground. Those exquisite columns, capitals and beams made of Lebanese cedar were all destroyed by the fire, leaving only stone columns, stone bases and capitals.
