The tombs of famous Persian kings are not like any other tomb.
Under the tombs, at eye level, many more recent reliefs are to be found. Several scenes, mostly from wars fought many centuries ago, these depict men, horses, other animals and also ancient scripts like Elamite. The tombs themselves are, unfortunately, not accessible to the public anymore. While walking at the feet of these enormous carvings, I felt truly dwarfed by their size.
