That is a building in the central Iran, I think the columns are similar to those which are in the temple of Artemis at Sardis:
But there can be no relation between them! |

Islamic Building, they wish!
It should be from Parthian period cuz it looks pretty much like Hatra's columns, also the size seems about the same. Edited by ramin |

Ok, that seems to be easy, guess this one:
That is in Persia (Fars province), an Achaemenid tomb? An Achaemnid rock tomb in Naghsh-e-Rostam:
A Lycian rock tomb in Fethiye, Turkey:
A Roman rock tomb in Petra, Jordan:

Is the cross around Darius's tomb just a coincident or did that figure meant something to them

I don't think it means anything, Darius's tomb has also the shape of a cross but that is the tomb of Artaxerxes, the interesting thing is that the 70-m high tomb of Darius the Great is the largest tomb in Naghsh-e-Rostam, however other tombs were built after it and it was possible for them to build larger tombs.

I was there two weeks ago and still remember that the cross symbolised the 4 elements of the Zoroastrians: fire, water, earth & air.

And you didn't say anything about your trip to me! As far as I know there were seven elements: http://tenets.zoroastrianism.com/simple33.html Zoroastrianism, being a highly sensitive ecological religion, defends and respects the purity of the seven elements of creation which are earth, water, fire, cattle (animals), plants, air (sky, metals), and men. |

Hellenistic Age is dated from 338 to 146 B.C. The first tomb (Of
Darius') was built probably between 522-486 B.C -- He died in 486 B.C,
but as I recall in some article or TV program it was said that he built his tomb some time before his death.
Also about the Greek style u mentioned; those columns influenced the Greeks. The first evidence of Greek buildings with such columns are dated after Persians' rule over Greece. ---- Cyrus, I love to know the name and the place of the first picture (Parthian's), would u tell me what is it?
