The golden ratio is an important ratio in geometry that exists in nature. This shows the art of ancient Iranians in architecture.

- Hundreds of years after the attack of Alexander and the Arabs and at a time when the memory of the Achaemenid kings was forgotten, the people who passed by the ruins of Parse saw the carved images of the royal throne raised on the hands of the people and since they could not read the cuneiform inscriptions carved on the stones, they thought that this is the same Aurang Jamshid that Ferdowsi mentioned in his Shahnameh. That's why they named this place Takht Jamshid. Later, when the archaeologists were able to translate the cuneiform inscription, they realized that its original name was Parse.

The great inscription of Darius the Great on the southern front wall of Persepolis clearly testifies that there was no building in this place before. The total area of the palaces of Persepolis is 125 thousand square meters.

And they relied on the role itself.

- In the petroglyphs of Takht Jamshid, the distance between each nation is separated by a cypress tree, which is a sacred tree. The ranking of representatives of nations is based on their culture and background or their distance and proximity, such as Medes, Elamites, Khozis, Babylonians, Assyrians.

- The guide of the nations is Persian, Madi, or Elamite, which is hand in hand with other nations to guide the guests, and the people of all nations were free to use their clothes, culture, and language. No, there is no attempt to show superiority or brag about Persians compared to other nations.

- The representatives of the nations extended their hands to each other as a sign of friendship. Having a scepter is a sign of high status and rank, a long furrowed hat is a sign of military status, a simple long hat is a sign of greatness, and a short cylindrical hat is a sign of a court employee, royal guard, and servants.
