Ancient tomb
Naqsh-e Rostam is an ancient necropolis in the Marvdasht valley containing tombs of the Achaemenid kings carved into the face of a fawn-colored limestone cliff in the shape of Persian crosses. They date from around 500 to 300 BC. Note the small figure of a seated woman looking across at the tomb. This tomb is thought to belong to Artaxerxes I.
