While you walk up the low stairs of the palace (the steps are low because horses had to be able to walk up), the complex towers above you. As you enter through the Xerxes gateway, the grounds open up to you on your right. From here, I was struck by the fine sculptures in the stones everywhere. Intricate details have remained almost intact for nearly 2,500 years. They tell a story of parties, ceremonies, and tribute processions, and represent 23 of the supposedly 127 nations of the Persian Empire.
