and the roof was on and there were people working around here, and the treasury was full of gold and treasuries, and cast my mind back; and it was a long time ago, two thousands five hundred years ago, and it amazes me to think what it would have been like to be here. \"he says.\u003cbr/\u003eIranian visitors to the Persepolis complex have a mixed feelings.\u003cbr/\u003eMounes, a young Iranian visitor says: \"Actually, when I was looking from far away, and when we arrived here and I was looking at the site from downstairs, my heart started beating so fast, and I felt like crying, and when we were coming upstairs I told my husband: \"Just imagine, for one moment, you're putting your steps were (Persian rulers) Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes and all those who lived 2500 years ago used to walk, Cyrus had stepped exactly where I'm standing\"\". \u003cbr/\u003eBas-reliefs on the exterior walls of Apadana palace reflect the ceremonial and administrative functions of the complex. \u003cbr/\u003eDarius the Great ruled Persia from 522 - 486 BC.\u003cbr/\u003eHe extensively expanded the empire and annexed Egypt to its vast territories, ordered the construction of Persepolis and believing his empire needed a ceremonial capital to show its magnificence. \u003cbr/\u003eReliefs show representatives from other countries with different cultures standing in queue to pay tribute and give presents to Darius . \u003cbr/\u003eThe complex was buried until the early 1930s and it was unearthed during a 1930s excavation conducted under the supervision of Ernest Herzfeld and Erich Schmidt, Chicago University professors.    \u003cbr/\u003eDavoudi is an Ancient Persian History expert in Iran's National Museum, where objects from 4000 BC are at display. \u003cbr/\u003eShe says \"The prominent aspect of the Persepolis is its vastness and its height, with lofty and thick columns, that have preserved this construction through centuries in a country like Iran, where earthquakes frequently happen.\"\u003cbr/\u003eExperts say architects of the site were aware of earthquake-prone environment of Persia and that is why they have partly cut out the mountain of the Mercy, using it as a strong base to the complex. \u003cbr/\u003eAnother important feature of the Persepolis complex is its use of paid employees where thousands of masons and workers received specified wages. \u003cbr/\u003eDavoudi says: \"We found many clay tablets, which in fact made up an accounting archive, in the treasury of Persepolis. Wages for men and women have been written down on the tablets. The tablets clearly indicate that women who gave birth to babies would be eligible for maternity leave.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAfter the 1979 Islamic revolution, hard-line clerics opposed any symbols from Iran's pre-Islamic days. Few resources were funnelled to ancient sites, including the palaces and citadels of Persepolis, a U.N.-designated World Heritage Site about 440 miles south of Tehran.\u003cbr/\u003eThe ruling clerics particularly disdained Persepolis. The late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who hosted the rich and famous at a lavish party amid the ruins in 1971 to commemorate 2,500 years of Iran's monarchy, had linked his legitimacy as king to Persepolis and the Achaemenian era.\u003cbr/\u003ePublic interest in Iran's history rose as first the fervour from the 1979 Islamic revolution waned and then a wider disillusionment with clerical rule set in.\u003cbr/\u003eThe government's initial rejection of Iran's pre-Islamic past lessened with the realisation that ancient monuments could draw tourists and boost the struggling economy. Fears also eased among Islamic leaders that a monarchy with ties to the ancient past would somehow return.\u003cbr/\u003eClerics are now more likely to insist that history since the arrival of Islam in the 7th century should be emphasised, not that pre-Islamic history should be ignored.\u003cbr/\u003eThe government allocated $5 million to Persepolis in 2003 for restoration work, pollution protection, new facilities for visitors and promotion of the ancient city as a tourist destination. \u003cbr/\u003eIn further evidence of changed attitudes, the government also dropped its earlier ban ten years ago on parents registering such pre-Islamic names for children as Darius or Cyrus, another ancient king. Images of Persepolis and the tomb of Ferdowsi, Iran's ancient epic poet, turn up on T-shirts, salad dressing and other products.\u003cbr/\u003eRESTRICTIONS: HORIZONS CLIENTS ONLY / No Access BBC Persian/ No access VOA Persian/ No Access Manoto TV\u003cbr/\u003ePersepolis, Northeast of Shiraz, Southern Iran, May 16 2012\u003cbr/\u003e1.Tilt-down Lamassu (bull with the head of bearded man)\u003cbr/\u003e2.Mid of huge Homa, a griffin-like mythical bird which is a symbol of fortune and paradise\u003cbr/\u003e3.Tilt down two huge columns of Apadana palace\u003cbr/\u003e4.Pull focus of Tachara, palace of Darius the Great\u003cbr/\u003e5.Pan from Gate of Nations gate to entrance of the hall of a Hundred Columns\u003cbr/\u003e6.Low angle pan of Apadana palace entrance\u003cbr/\u003e7.Sculpture in relief showing Persian soldiers\u003cbr/\u003e8.Tilt down from sky to The Throne Hall  (AKA a Hundred Columns palace)\u003cbr/\u003e9.Head of bull guarding the entrance to the Hundred Column Hall\u003cbr/\u003e10.Mid of the Hundred Column Hall\u003cbr/\u003e11.SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Philips, Australian tourist: \u003cbr/\u003e\"The most impressive part for me is to imagine what this place was like back in the time when it was functional; and the roof was on and there were people working around here, and the treasury was full of gold and treasuries, just to imagine and cast my mind back; and it was a long time ago, two thousands five hundred years ago, and it amazes me to think what it would have been like to be here. \u003cbr/\u003e12.Mid of Australian tourist taking picture\u003cbr/\u003ePersepolis, Northeast of Shiraz, Southern Iran, May 17 2012 \u003cbr/\u003e13.Mid of Persian king sculpture in relief\u003cbr/\u003e14.Pan of Royal tomb of Artaxerxes III to Persepolis \u003cbr/\u003e15.Low angle of huge column \u003cbr/\u003e16.Tilt up from ground to huge columns and lion sculpture\u003cbr/\u003e17.Mid of young woman walking and looking up at columns\u003cbr/\u003e18.SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Mounes (no last name given) \u003cbr/\u003e\"Actually, when I was looking from far away, and when we arrived here and I was looking at the site from downstairs, my heart started beating so fast, and I felt like crying, and when we were coming upstairs I told my husband: \"Just imagine, for one moment, you're putting your steps were Cyrus, Darius and Xerxes and all those who lived 2500 years ago used to walk, Cyrus had stepped exactly where I'm standing\".\"\u003cbr/\u003e19.Mid of corner where two walls with sculptures of Persian soldiers meet\u003cbr/\u003e20.Pan of bas-relief showing lion (personifying the Sun), seizing bull (personifying the moon), as a sign of Nowruz\u003cbr/\u003e21.Mid of female tourists\u003cbr/\u003e22.Various of tourists looking at ancient terrace and staircase\u003cbr/\u003e23.Mid of sculpture and inscriptions\u003cbr/\u003e24.Wide of Apadana palace\u003cbr/\u003e25.Tilt from palace portico to inscriptions\u003cbr/\u003e26.
