Info Panoramic view of the ancient Naqsh-e Rustam necropolis located about 12 km northwest of Persepolis, in Fars Province, Iran. The site includes rock reliefs of Achaemenid and Sassanid periods, 4 tombs of Achaemenid kings and a Cube of Zoroaster (far left). The reliefs are the oldest elements (the oldest one from 1000 BC) of Elamite origin. The tombs were carved out of the rock and belong (left to right) to Darius II (c. 423-404 BC), Artaxerxes I (c. 465-424 BC), Darius I (c. 522-486 BC) and Xerxes I (c. 486-465 BC). The Cube of Zoroaster belongs to the Achaemenid era (5th century BC) and its purpose is still unclear. Poc o² 13:34, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment For reference, there is an existing FP: File:20101229 Naqsh e Rostam Shiraz Iran more Panoramic.jpg by another photographer six years earlier. This nomination has more detail/resolution but the rightmost door (?) is in shadow and has scaffolding. -- Colin (talk) 08:42, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Yes, and both are clearly FPs to my eyes and mind. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:31, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support since this has way more detail than the prev FP. It could also serve as sort of time-line for the site. I have been corrected before when objecting to multiple FPs of the same scene and adjusted accordingly, since there is some merit in having some of them. --cart-Talk 12:24, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
