The
group
of
palaces
of
Takht
Jamshid
is
located
in
a
wide
area
surrounded
by
the
“Rahma”
mountain
on
one
side,
and
ends
with
the
“Morodesht”
plains
on
the
other.
These
large
royal
palaces
were
built
in
the
vicinity
of
Parse.
The
Greeks
called
it
Persepolis.
Work
began
on
the
construction
of
Takht
Jamshid
during
the
reign
of
Darius
I,
around
the
year
518
BC.
At
first,
high
foundations
were
prepared,
and
then
the
“Apadana”
hall
and
the
main
stairs
were
built
on
them,
as
well
as
the
“Tijr”
palace.
After
Darius
died,
he
was
succeeded
by
his
son,
Khashayar
Shah,
who
built
the
Hall
of
Hadish
and
proposed
the
project
of
building
a
hall
with
a
hundred
pillars.
After
him,
Ardashir
I
sat
on
the
throne
and
completed
the
construction
of
this
hall.
It
is
worth
mentioning
here
that
these
palaces
and
halls
were
built
on
foundations
and
pillars
that
were
made
of
large,
harmonious
rocks
that
sculptors
carved
in
the
mountains
themselves.
The
palaces
of
Takht
Jamshid
were
built
on
a
land
of
13
hectares.
Takht
Jamshid
was
equipped
with
thermal
systems
and
air
conditioners,
which
provided
the
internal
spaces
with
necessary
heat
in
the
winter,
and
in
return,
in
the
hot
summer
days,
it
provided
a
cool
and
moderate
atmosphere.
The
plains
of
Marvdasht,
as
well
as
the
very
high
ceilings
of
the
palaces,
the
halls
and
spacious
spaces,
the
open
doors,
and
the
large
number
of
windows
in
them,
all
of
which
helped
provide
a
mild
atmosphere
in
the
summer.
As
for
the
winter,
the
walls
were
built
of
bricks
and
bricks,
and
the
layers
of
plaster,
in
addition
to
the
long
thick
purple
curtains,
formed
a
thermal
insulator
that
prevented
the
penetration
of
the
Persian
cold
into
the
halls
and
spaces.
The
roofs
covered
with
timber
also
helped
to
warm
the
surroundings.
Moreover,
the
water
delivery
network
and
waterways
existed
in
Takht
Jamshid.
Excavations
at
this
archaeological
site
revealed
underground
networks
for
water
delivery
and
crooked
waterways
with
a
length
of
more
than
two
kilometers.
The
art
of
Achaemenid
architecture
is
an
art
that
mixed
with
the
styles
of
Babylonian,
Assyrian
and
Egyptian
architecture,
and
what
was
widespread
in
the
Greek
cities
in
the
Asia
Minor
region
and
among
the
peoples
of
Urartu,
but
this
art
has
been
developed
independently
of
other
architecture
arts
by
adopting
wonderful
artistic
models
and
creations
stemming
from
an
Iranian
spirit
wealth.
The
aim
of
the
Achaemenids
in
constructing
such
majestic
buildings
and
buildings
was
to
highlight
their
great
royal
power
to
the
world.
Through
the
excavation
work
conducted
in
1312
AH.
U
On
the
northwestern
side
of
the
foundations
of
Takht
Jamshid,
about
forty
thousand
clay
tablets
were
found
in
the
shape
and
scale
of
prayer
dust,
on
which
phrases
were
written
in
Elamite
script.
After
reading
these
Elamite
tablets,
it
turned
out
later
that
they
are
documents
that
talk
about
the
costs
of
building
the
palaces
of
Takht
Jamshid.
