Apadana Castle Shush

Reviewed By amirhosseinf - Tehran, Iran

the Apadana Palace of Shosh has been built on the orders of Dariush Kabir, the king of the Achaemenid rule, with an area of ​​10,434 square meters. The architecture of this massive collection is very remarkable and impressive. The architect and designers of this old mansion designed and constructed various sections, including the General Bar, the Harem, the Gate, the Palace of Recreation, and the three central courtyards. It seems that the inner walls of this palace are made using glazed bricks. These bricks are decorated by ancient Iranian artists with immortal sepals, winged valves and lotus flowers. The works of these bricks remain in the museums of foreign and domestic countries. Architectural experts believe that the palace plan is a slab-shaped mansion consisting of 3 porches made up of several pillars in the northern, western and eastern parts of the country. The Apadana Palace has many rooms and suites, with only 110 rooms and its hall being discovered by explorers and archaeologists. The palace seems to have 6 courtyards, with 3 vast courtyards built around the eastern and western axis. These courtyards are located within the Apadana Palace and are connected to the north by the large corridor. 3 smaller yards are also designed in the northern part of the Apadana Palace. The designers of this fascinating historic collection provided the luminaire and air conditioning of the palace rooms and mansions by fitting the courtyards. In the central part of the hall is a central hall. Architectural experts have estimated the dimensions of the forum 58 * 58 meters. The palace seems to have 36 pillars, with an elevation of more than 20 meters.

Reviewed By amirhosseinf - Tehran, Iran

Haft Tape (in eng:Seven Hills), a collection of 14 ancient hills, is located 15 km south-east of the city of Susa, and its distance from Chogha Sanbil Temple is 23 km. The tomb that was discovered on this site is attributed to the discovery of the tabernacle, named after the Tibetan name Ahar, as the king. The Tibetan burial site of Ahar and its ruins was a private temple with a lounge, porch and courtyard attached to a public tramway by a corridor. The arch is the first arch descendant built in ancient Persia, and according to historians, is the invention of Elamite architects. The public tomb is outside the temple of a large platform, divided into three sections by low-rise walls. In the northern part of this platform there are seven skeletons, in the southern part there are two or three skeletons, and in the middle part, smaller than the other two, skeletons have not been found. The spectacular and insightful details of this tomb that archaeologists have noticed is a mass grave found at the foot of the great platform at the southernmost part of the tomb and right next door to the entrance door. There are ten skeletons with irregular layouts, sometimes overlapping. A great deal of interest has been discovered in this area, which interested visitors can visit the Seven Hills Museum.
