Title: "A Golden Welcome: Cortés of Babylonians Delivering Tribute to King Darius I at Persepolis, Iran" This photograph showcases the Apadana or Audience Hall of Darius I at Persepolis, Iran, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the grandeur of the ancient Persian Empire during the Achaemenid period. The relief on the eastern side of the staircase, bathed in daylight, depicts a significant moment in Persian history. Cortés, a Babylonian, is depicted in the relief, carrying vases filled with gold and silver as he ascends the staircase to present the tribute to King Darius I. The Persian king, an embodiment of power and majesty, is shown seated on his throne, receiving the offerings from his subjects. The intricate decorations on the eastern side of the staircase are a stunning example of Persian art during the Achaemenid period. The horizontal relief, with its vibrant colors, is a visual feast for the eyes. The scene is set against the backdrop of the exterior of the Apadana, which exudes an aura of grandeur and sophistication.
