The Persian Emperor Mausoleum and the Sassanid Relief are located on a cliff not far from Persepolis. If you charter a car, you can visit them together. The Persian Emperor's Mausoleum is built on the rock wall of the mountain. Four cross-shaped tombs are arranged in sequence. From right to left, they belong to Xerxes I, Darius I, Artaxerxes I and Darius II. Above each mausoleum is a statue of Ahura Mazda, the Persian god of wisdom, representing the divine right of the king. The mausoleum is well preserved as a whole, but the stone slab in the middle tomb was destroyed by Alexander the Great, who later conquered the Achaemenid Dynasty. Today, the tomb of the emperor has become the "home" of pigeons. Directly in front of the mausoleum is a cubic stone building "Ka'ba-ye Zartosht", believed to be a Zoroastrian fire temple. There are seven reliefs from the Sassanian period on the rock wall below the mausoleum. One of the more famous one is the image of the Sassanian emperor Shapur I accepting the surrender of the Roman monarch Valerian on his knees.

波斯帝陵和萨珊浮雕景点距离波斯波利斯古都13公里,陵墓在山体崖壁上凿出,这里排列安葬2500年前波斯阿契美尼德王朝的四位国王,分别为薛西斯一世、大流士一世、阿塔薛西斯一世和大流士二世。陵墓口离地面20多米高,呈深陷的巨大十字形,上方都雕有古伊朗智慧之神阿胡拉·马兹达的神像。陵墓下方的崖壁上雕有7组波斯萨珊王朝时期的浮雕,比陵墓晚七八百年,最具看点的是萨珊皇帝沙普尔一世骑在马上接受罗马君主瓦勒良跪姿投降的场面。
波斯帝陵是古代皇室下葬的地方的,由于没有专业的导游,所以看得有点迷迷糊糊的,不过陵园里面的很多浮雕确定很漂亮,都是关于宗教等传说有关的
波斯帝陵顾名思义,是波斯帝国皇帝们的陵墓。它气势宏伟,位于距波斯波利斯不远处的一座山崖,共有四个在岩壁上凿出来的十字形陵寝(如下图),从右到左分属薛西斯一世、大流士一世、阿塔薛西斯一世和大流士二世。近距离看,陵寝周围雕刻着浮雕壁画,“十”字形的上方雕有波斯智慧之神阿胡拉·马兹达像,寓意着君权神授。陵墓的下面有七幅萨珊时期的浮雕,描绘的都是古代战争场面,其中最著名的一幅,是萨珊皇帝沙普尔一世接受跪在地上的罗马君主瓦勒良投降。继续向左走,还能看见很多浮雕壁画。
Burial tombs of the last and greatest kings of the Persian Empire. Easy to combine with a trip to Persepolis, but be careful - it will be insanely hot many months of the year.
After more than an hour of tour in Pasalgarde, we continued to drive back to Shiraz, en route to the fourth and last attraction of today's chartered tour: the Persian Mausoleum. After arriving, buy tickets for 200,000 riyals per person and enter the scenic spot where you can see some of the emperor's tombs from the door. Enter the scenic spot, bypass a earthen bag to see the whole view of the Persian mausoleum on the cliff, this cliff has four cross-shaped mausoleums chiselled on the rock wall, from right to left belong to Xerxes I, Darius I, Ataxes I and Darius II. In front of the tomb is a cube stone building, said to be a Zoroazeid temple of fire. Although the upper coffin cave was already empty, the current momentum still made us feel the strength of the Persian Empire. Especially a few large reliefs, in the cliff above the cave, after years of vicissitudes although damaged but still visible. One of the more complete reliefs is said to have kneeled before the Persian emperor on horseback, the Roman emperor, in this form of history records the Persian Empire's invincibility, but now the Persian emperor's tomb is facing the west slanting sun. It seems to be also showing the end of an empire here. The sunrise and sunset are year after year, the years are ruthless and the people are rushing. On the afternoon charter tour, we also visited the attraction in Persianpolis about ten minutes drive: Sashan relief. As the netizens said in the Raiders, this is really a "pit father" attraction. Buying tickets for 80,000 riyals per person at the entrance window of the small porter, entering the pile of rocky hills before you, who knows that suddenly a turn, there are four huge mountain stone reliefs in the foothills that are displayed before our eyes. The more severe mountain stone reliefs that have been weathered have many appearances that have not been seen clearly. There is just a group of tour groups here to visit, the tour guide is facing the reliefs to speak sound and color, Western tourists hear a taste. We were like watching silent short films, and it was super short, so we hurried away after about two minutes of watching. In fact, this attraction is small but extraordinary in retrospect, after all, it was a relic of the powerful and wealthy Persian Empire.
The empty earth, a towering cliff, four graves, seven reliefs of the Sasan period, these combined images can only be described with visual impact. The reliefs of Sasan were so clear in the sunlight that they painted scenes of imperial conquest and royal celebrations that there were few people here, just like the desolate landscapes around them. We arrived with only a wave of Iranians, and then only heaven and earth, and us.
Shortly after leaving Shiraz, he came to this great cliff, where the four Persian emperors were buried, facing it, from left to right, Darius II, Atassexus I, Darius I and Xerxes I, all of which were familiar names in their student days. I can't believe their graves are in front of me now. It's really desolate, but it feels the weight of history more, and I like this lonely place standing in the wilderness, more shaking people than mixing in the noise.
