An empire that perished in flames, Persepolis. 00:00:00
Persepolis is an emblem of the mighty power of the Persian Empire. 00:00:08
The ruins of the empire's capital lie in the province of Fars in southern Iran. 00:00:14
The Achaemenid dynasty was established in 550 BC 00:00:21
and became a vast empire stretching throughout the Orient. 00:00:27
Persepolis took 60 years to build during the reign of three kings. 00:00:31
It was named the Gate of All Countries 00:00:37
because the subject nations of the empire would pass through it when visiting the king. 00:00:40
The structure here is 21 meters high. 00:00:46
Colossal bowls, the symbol of God, support the beams. 00:00:49
The hall for audiences and the treasury 00:00:55
were built using materials collected from distant places within the empire. 00:00:58
Persepolis was living proof of the culmination of the cultures of the Orient 00:01:06
and represented its glory. 00:01:10
The irrigation system was called the Qanat. 00:01:16
An underground water network was extended as wells were dug 00:01:19
and water distributed to villages and farms. 00:01:23
The Qanat distributed water to arid land without drying up. 00:01:28
It's still in use today. 00:01:34
The Persian Empire eventually clashed with Greece. 00:01:39
King Alexander closed in on Persepolis in 330 BC. 00:01:42
Alexander the Great entered the fortress of Persepolis and headed for the throne. 00:01:47
He ordered the palace to be burnt down. 00:01:53
The relief in the throne hall records the height of empire. 00:02:01
The equestrian people of the Scythia contributed to its military power. 00:02:06
A Phoenician carries a jug. 00:02:12
Ethiopians from Africa presented ivories. 00:02:17
Gold from India in the east went into the empire's coffers. 00:02:22
The camels are a token of loyalty from Arakosia, 00:02:31
roughly the area of present-day Afghanistan. 00:02:34
The Achaemenid dynasty rose to become a mighty and powerful empire 00:02:39
that lasted over two centuries. 00:02:44
The ruins of its columns are a reminder of a dramatic history. 00:02:48
