Ziggurats such as the UNESCO designated World Heritage Site of Chogha Zanbil, which relieved the flat monotony of the southern Khuzestan plane, were but “ritual imitations of the familiar sacred mountains which ring the Iranian plateau”.[17]The following is a list of World Heritage Sites designed or constructed by Iranians (Persians), or designed and constructed in the style of Iranian architecture:

Inside Iran:

Arg-é Bam Cultural Landscape, Kerman

Naghsh-i Jahan Square, Isfahan

Pasargadae, Fars

Persepolis, Fars

Tchogha Zanbil, Khuzestan

Takht-e Soleyman, West Azerbaijan

Minaret of Jam, Afghanistan

Tomb of Humayun, India

Mike is me
try searching Persia. That is what Iran used to be known as. They led a large campaign to capture the world, and the battle or Thermopile, from which the movie 300 was based. They also were defeated by Alexander the Great. I guess I know more about Greek History in relations to Persia, but theres the wiki site.
