  • Achaemenid Empire/ (Persia) BY: HOZAN LATIF RAUF General Architectural Features
    Achaemenid Empire/ (Persia) BY: HOZAN LATIF RAUF General Architectural features ▪ The architecture of Persians was more columnar and that led to vastly different massive architectural features from that of the Mesopotamian era. ▪ The use of flat timber roofs rather than vaults led to more slender columns and were rather more beautiful. This also led to rooms being squarer in shape than simple long rectangle. ▪ The roofing system was also very different, wherein the wooden brackets were covered in clay and provided more stability. The use of a double mud wall might have provided room for windows just below ceiling in structures like Palace of Persepolis. VOCABULARY WORDS ▪ The COLUMN is divided into three parts: ▪ The BASE ▪ The SHAFT- FLUTED ▪ The CAPITAL- Double Animal most with bulls Ancient Susa/Shush The city of SUSA was the Persian capital in succession to Babylon, where there is a building with a citadel complex. There was a good skill set of artisans and laborers available which made the palace complex more of a piece of art than just a building structure. Cedar wood was got from Lebanon and teak from the mountain of Zagros. The baked bricks were still made in the Babylonian method. Ancient Susa/Shush Ancient Persepolis PERSEPOLIS ▪ 518 BCE ▪ King Darius utilized influences and materials from all over his empire, which included Babylon, Egypt, Mesopotamian and Greece Architectural Plan of Ancient Persepolis The Great/Apadana Staircase ▪ King Xerxes (486-465 BC) built the Grand Staircase and the Gate of All Nations. ▪ The Grand Staircase is located on the northeast side of the city and these stairs were carved from massive blocks of stone.

  • The Behistun Inscription and the Res Gestae Divi Augusti
    Phasis 15-16, 2012-2013 Δημήτριος Μαντζίλας (Θράκη) The Behistun Inscription and the Res Gestae Divi Augusti Intertextuality between Greek and Latin texts is well known and – in recent decades – has been well studied. It seems though that common elements also appear in earlier texts, from other, mostly oriental countries, such as Egypt, Persia or Israel. In this article we intend to demonstrate the case of a Persian and a Latin text, in order to support the hypothesis of a common Indo-European literature (in addition to an Indo-European mythology and language). The Behistun Inscription,1 whose name comes from the anglicized version of Bistun or Bisutun (Bagastana in Old Persian), meaning “the place or land of gods”, is a multi-lingual inscription (being thus an equivalent of the Rosetta stone) written in three different cuneiform script extinct languages: Old Persian, Elamite (Susian), and Babylonian (Accadian).2 A fourth version is an Aramaic translation found on the 1 For the text see Adkins L., Empires of the Plain: Henry Rawlinson and the Lost Languages of Babylon, New York 2003; Rawlinson H.

  • "Gūr-E Doḵtar: Parsi Art Architecture Style in Dashtestan"
    Archive of SID 1 "Gūr-e Doḵtar: Parsi Art architecture style in Dashtestan" Hamed.Sharifian History teacher of Islamic Azad University / Majlesi branch. [email protected] Abstract Most of the art lovers and specialists of art history adore Parsi artist’s skills. Considerations of the history of architecture in "Parsi" style could instruct us towards the origin of this architectural style. The ancient "Dashtestan" region was residential from the old ages and considered as one of the bases of seafaring and cruising of "Achaemenian" government in "Pars sea" ( Persian Gulf ) in Acheamenian era. Parsi style architecture works are seen a lot in this region and "Gūr-e Doḵtar" is one of those examples there have been different views stated about this exclusive building. Some people regard this building as a tomb and some others consider it as temple. Although everybody agrees on relating this building to Achaemenian era, but there are no similar views and agreements about its precise age. Consideration of the architecture of this building shows that Dashtestan was the origin of Achaemenian civilization and studying this building that belongs to one of the ancestors of "Cyrus the great" (Cyrus the great ) makes us acquainted with the transient stage of the Art architecture of "Elamid" style to "Parsi" Art architecture style. Key words: Art architecture, Parsi style, Achaemenians, Dashtestan, Gūr-e Doḵtar. www.SID.ir Archive of SID 2 Gūr-e Doḵtar: Parsi architecture 1 in Dashtestan I. Introduction There are a lot of historical indications from Achaemenian era in Dashtestan region that include over 20 various buildings, namely "Sang-siah" (Black stone) palace, "Bardak-siah" (Black Barak) palace, "Charkhab" palace, "Tappeh-ee" (Hill) palace, "Shahouie" garden , "Maze-ee Shahriari" (Royal Maze-ee) palace, "Borg" (Tower) palace, "Mill" (Minaret) palace, and some others, but Gūr-e Doḵtar is the most prominent one among them.

  • Surrealism and the Reliefs of the Sasanian High Priest Kartir
    CLARA Vol. 6, 2020 M. Soltani Surrealism and the Reliefs of the Sasanian High Priest Kartir Mohammad Soltani Abstract Kartir was the most important religious leader in early Iran at the time of the Sasanian empire. The rock reliefs and inscriptions left by him contain some important features that occur for the first time in Iranian art history. Specifically, Kartir’s rock reliefs reveal that someone who was not a king could still be influential enough to commission a monument in which he was the central figure. Kartir’s inscriptions appear next to the reliefs of the previous king, or were even inserted into the same panel. In this way, the traditional construction of these reliefs was altered, as were their respective meanings. Furthermore, Kartir describes an imaginary journey to another world in his inscriptions. The article considers the role of dreams in Kartir's art and what influence this had on this new style of composition, comparing it with what we now call ‘surrealism’. Keywords: Sasanian Empire, Kartir, rock relief, inscription, surrealism The Sasanian dynasty, which represented the last Persian lineage of rulers to achieve hegemony over much of Western Asia before Islam, ruled 224–650 CE.1 In 224 the Sasanian dynasty rose in Persis/Fars under Ardashir I (224–239/240 CE). As ruler of Istakhr, Ardashir I claimed the royal title of ‘King of Kings’. Ardashir I was the son of Papak, who had seized power in Istakhr in 205/6 CE. Their dynasty took their name from Sasan, the guardian of Anahita sanctuary at Istakhr.

  • The Lion-Bull Motifs of Persepolis: the Zoogeographic Context
    The Lion-Bull Motifs of Persepolis: The Zoogeographic Context. Vijay Sathe* Department of Archaeology, Deccan College Postgraduate and Research Institute, Maharashtra, India (Received: 21/ 06/ 2011; Received in Revised form: 19/ 08/ 2011; Accepted: 15/ 10/ 2011) The lion-bull iconography during the Achaemenian period of ancient Persia has generated different theories of astronomical and seasonal events besides the suggestions that it could be the symbol of the time cycle of the day, with lion representing the sun and bull the night. However, the present paper draws the reader’s attention to the hitherto unexplored angle of zoology to understand physiognomy of the lion-bull iconography in sculptural art of ancient Iran. The zoomorphology of lion and bull attempts at taxonomic identification based on iconography, which is also influenced by observations, imagination and collective psyche of sculptors. Notwithstanding this human bias involved in depiction of the animal, the present study demonstrates ‘near-nature’ precision in sculptural art, thereby allowing precise identification and shows how the artistic manifestations reflect a combination of animal morphology with myths and collective observations that might have passed down since generations. This is yet another form of faunal evidence that needs to be taken into account in addition to the skeletal record when confronted with presenting a holistic view of the animal world at the site. The paper is structured into three parts viz. Zoo-morphology of lion-bull motifs, Biogeography and Early History of lion and bull, and Faunal (skeletal) evidence of Lion and Bull in protohistoric and early historic Iran. This study highlights the significance of integrating skeletal record with other means of ‘faunal evidence’ in ancient literature, iconography, coins and ceramics that are helpful in understanding ancient subsistence, and socio- religious structure.
