Excellent pics PRSN41ife.

From the pics one can tell how rich the ancient persian civilization would have been.

Have you been to the 'Louvre' museum in Paris ? They have a section on Persia. There is a sculpture of human + bull ( just like the one on the pic u have posted ) . It is in a very good condition. If you get a chance do visit it. They have a good collection.

Q :

Some of the pics have 'inscriptions'. Is it 'avestan' language or some other Persian language ?

Has it been deciphered ? ( can someone read it ? )

Nice collection...this thread is a tribute to the great city of Persepolis.

I have observed that there is a common feature in the architectures of Roman , Greek , Egyptian , Persian & Indian civilization. All of them have 'humanoids' ( humans having body parts of animals - Bull , Lion , birds etc ). This lends them 'extra-terrestrial' feel.
