    Summary

    Description

    The winged bull guarding the gate to the Hall of All Nations surely must have been intended to impress and intimidate supplicants to the Achaemenid court. I know it would have made me straighten my tie and check to make sure my zipper was zipped.

    According to the Lonely Planet guide to Iran,

    "Whenever important foreign delegations arrived [at Persepolis], their presence was heralded by trumpeters at the top of the [Grand Stairway] . . ."

    "Acolytes then led the dignitaries through Xerxes' Gateway (also known as the Gate of All Nations), which is still a wonderfully impressive monument."

    "The gateway was built during the time of Xerxes I [486 - 465 BCE] and is guarded by bull-like figures that have a strong Assyrian character. . . ."

    Above [the figures a] . . . cuneiform inscription in Old Persian, Neo-Babylonian and Elamite . . . declares, among other things, that

    'King Xerxes says: by the favor of Ahuramazda this Gate of All Nations I built. Much else that is beautiful was built in this [palace], which I built and my father [Darius the Great 522 - 486 BCE] built.' "
