EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of the main entrance gateway to the ancient Persepolis ruins in Iran. Known as The Gate of All Nations, this colossal structure once stood proudly as the entrance to the magnificent capital city of the Achaemenid dynasty Zoroastrian empire. Dating back to 500 BC, this UNESCO World Heritage site near Marvdasht offers a mesmerizing journey through time. However, its present state is a testament to its tumultuous past.
