EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1902, showcases the Fire Altar at Persepolis, an ancient site located in modern-day Iran. Persepolis, a city rich in history and archaeological significance, was once the ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire. The Fire Altar, situated close to the citadel and settlement, is a remarkable testament to the religious practices of the ancient Persians. King Xerxes I, one of the most famous rulers of the Achaemenid Empire, is depicted in this image, paying homage to the gods before the fire altar. Carved into a rocky outcrop, the tomb of King Xerxes serves as the backdrop to this sacred scene. The king, dressed in traditional Persian attire, is shown with his hands raised in a gesture of reverence, as he offers a gift to the flames. The Fire Altar was a crucial element of Persian Zoroastrianism, an ancient religion that emphasized the importance of fire as a symbol of purity and divine presence. The altar was believed to be the bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, allowing the offerings made to the fire to ascend to the gods. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when kings ruled, and fire held a sacred place in the hearts and minds of the people. The Fire Altar at Persepolis stands as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
