Taq-i Bostan inscriptions

The Taq-i Bostan inscriptions are ancient Persian carvings at a rock relief site in Iran, dating from the Sassanian Empire around the 4th to 10th centuries CE. They feature elaborate depictions of kings, gods, and court scenes, often accompanied by royal inscriptions in Pahlavi script. These inscriptions serve as historical records, honoring rulers and illustrating their divine authority, military victories, and religious beliefs. They provide valuable insights into Sassanian art, culture, and governance, helping us understand how the empire presented its power and spirituality through monumental stone carvings.
