They achieved the impossible!

TEHRAN – It took 45 years for a Sassanid-era (224–651) petroglyph to be deciphered, ILNA reported on Saturday.

Forty-five years after its discovery in Naqsh-e Rostam, a royal rock-hewn necropolis in southern Fars province, the Sassanid petroglyph has been translated, Iranian archaeologist Abolhassan Atabaki said.

Raising goats in pastures is the subject of the petroglyph, he mentioned.

The petroglyph also mentions a nearby hydro structure that the residents of the region used for drinking and cattle water, he noted.

This rock drawing is one of the most important and largest petroglyphs discovered by the archaeologists during their previous survey of the area, he explained.

The petroglyph has been homogenized by rainwater because it was exposed to the open air, causing a large number of limestone sediments to slowly form a layer of the upper surface, resulting in the destruction of stone inscriptions, and the loss of parts of the letters, he added.

One of the wonders of the ancient world, Naqsh-e Rostam, is home to spectacular massive rock-hewn tombs and bas-relief carvings. Moreover, it embraces four tombs where Persian Achaemenid kings are laid to rest, believed to be those of Darius II, Artaxerxes I, Darius I, and Xerxes I (from left to right facing the cliff), although some historians are still debating this.

The Achaemenid necropolis is situated near Persepolis, itself a bustling UNESCO World Heritage site near the southern city of Shiraz. Naqsh-e Rostam, meaning “Picture of Rostam” is named after a mythical Iranian hero who is most celebrated in Shahnameh and Persian mythology. Back in time, natives of the region had erroneously supposed that the carvings below the tombs represent depictions of the mythical hero.

There are stunning bas-relief carvings above the tomb chambers that are similar to those at Persepolis, with the kings standing on thrones supported by figures representing the subject nations below. There are also two similar graves situated on the premises of Persepolis probably belonging to Artaxerxes II and Artaxerxes III.

Beneath the funerary chambers are dotted with seven Sassanian eras (224–651) bas-reliefs cut into the cliff depict vivid scenes of imperial conquests and royal ceremonies; signboards below each relief give a detailed description in English.

At the foot of Naqsh-e Rostam, in the direction of the cliff face, stands a square building known as Ka’beh-ye Zardusht, meaning Kaaba of Zoroaster. The building, which is roughly 12 meters high and seven meters square, probably was constructed in the first half of the 6th century BC, although it bears a variety of inscriptions from later periods. Though the Ka’beh-ye Zardusht is of great linguistic interest, its original purpose is not clear. It may have been a tomb for Achaemenian royalty or some sort of altar, perhaps to the goddess Anahiti, also called Anahita believed to be associated with royalty, war, and fertility.

In many ways, Iran under Sassanian rule witnessed tremendous achievements in Persian civilization. Experts say that the art and architecture of the nation experienced a general renaissance during Sassanid rule. In that era, crafts such as metalwork and gem engraving grew highly sophisticated, as scholarship was encouraged by the state; many works from both the East and West were translated into Pahlavi, the official language of the Sassanians.

Of all the material remains of the era, only coins constitute a continuous chronological sequence throughout the whole period of the dynasty. Such Sassanian coins have the name of the king for whom they were struck inscribed in Pahlavi, which permits scholars to date them quite closely.

The legendary wealth of the Sassanian court is fully confirmed by the existence of more than one hundred examples of bowls or plates of precious metal known at present. One of the finest examples is the silver plate with partial gilding in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The dynasty was destroyed by Arab invaders during a span from 637 to 651.

The ancient region, known as Pars (Fars), or Persis, was the heart of the Achaemenid Empire founded by Cyrus the Great and had its capital in Pasargadae. Darius I the Great moved the capital to nearby Persepolis in the late 6th or early 5th century BC. Alexander the Great defeated the Achaemenian army at Arbela in 331 and burned Persepolis apparently as revenge against the Persians because it seems the Persian King Xerxes had burnt the Greek City of Athens around 150 years earlier.

Persis became part of the Seleucid kingdom in 312 after Alexander’s death. The Parthian empire (247 BC– 224 CE) of the Arsacids (corresponding roughly to the modern Khorasan in Iran) replaced the Seleucids' rule in Persis during 170–138 BC. The Sasanid Empire (224 CE–651) had its capital at Istkhr. Not until the 18th century, under the Zand dynasty (1750–79) of southern Iran, did Fars again become the heart of an empire.

hahahahahaha I hate it here.

Danielle Smith: I don’t want young kids to permanently change their bodies!

Danielle Smith: So they won’t be allowed to use puberty blockers, the effects of which are basically entirely reversible, until they’re fifteen, which is well into puberty and often towards the end of puberty for AFAB kids!

Danielle Smith: this makes sense and I am so smart! This will not have the effect of making trans youth even more vulnerable than they already are and that definitely wasn’t my intention.

#I like that we think alienating young trans kids from supportive teachers #who have the potential to be life changing and life saving #is a good way of going about this #i never thought i would say this but fucking hell i miss jason kenney #at least that man didn’t spend every second of his day wondering how he could beat capter to the furthest right individuals in the province #which seems like what danielle smith is doing #imagine if she focused her energy on something useful like housing #or the opioid epidemic #instead she focuses 100% of her time and effort on two (2) things #1- catering to the far right usually by fucking with queer people #2- hating the federal government and calling the liberals mean names #abpoli #cdnpoli #alberta #trans rights problems

my mother insisting that it wouldn’t be too bad to drive to toronto given that “it’s just right up from where my high school friend lives in omaha” (omaha is nearly a straight shot down from winnipeg) [handshake emoji] my grandmother just now texting to ask if i am at all impacted by the nova scotia fires because direct quote “i think of toronto as being not too far from nova scotia”

it’s not just that my parents do not have even remotely a grasp of like, the most basic of canadian geography it is the sheer confidence with which they are wrong about it

#gav gab #this is so fucking funny #me like mom. no. it's. i live in ontario.#and she's like oh i thought ontario was pretty far west? and i had to explain to her #that the province above omaha is manitoba #and also ontario is a full third of the us/canada border #incredible work ladies great job

my province, which already has pretty good public transit, is getting a HUGE transit development plan implemented starting next year with some of the features coming in as early as january 15th💙💙💙💙 what a time to be ALIVE

#january 15th is three days before i go see the queen rock montreal movie!!!#and that's a ways away! i have to take like three busses and a light rail to get there! so better bus tracking #(the feature) will be so SO helpful💙#especially since i'll have to take another 3 busses and 1 train back home afterwards #the movie won't end til like 8:30. reliable bus updates are VERY appreciated #when you're alone late at night in the dark in an unfamiliar part of the province far from home. lol

#the whole province is in a state of emergency now #bc is burning #up north the nwt are burning too #my city is on fire. half the city is under full evacuation orders #the nearest city is also on fire but they’ve not had as much structural damages yet #i don’t know if it’ll reach me but i’m preparing #there’s a plan. we have some sort of plan #god. fuck #as one plus. there’s no reported deaths so far. i hope it stays that way #i’m sending all my goodwill to the people losing their homes and to the people taking us in and providing services #we’re going to get through this but it’s going to fucking suck
