Persepolis (Old Persian تخت جمشید, 'Takht-e Jamshid') was the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire. Archaeological and written evidence suggests that Persepolis was founded around 518 BC by Darius I.[1][2] Alexander the Great sacked Persepolis in 333 BC in delayed retribution for the sacking of Athens by the Persians in 480 B.C.
