Iran through the ages

Five thousand years of history behind one family name. Each panel shows original artwork until you drop a public-domain photo into photos/ with the matching filename — then the photo takes over. The README lists exactly where to download them.

The ruins of Persepolis, ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire — **Achaemenid Persia, c. 550–330 BC** — Cyrus the Great founds the largest empire the world had yet seen; Darius raises the columned palaces of Persepolis.

Sasanian monument such as Taq Kasra or the reliefs at Naqsh-e Rostam — **Parthians & Sasanians, 247 BC–651 AD** — nearly nine centuries as Rome's great rival; the Sasanian era is remembered as a high point of Persian civilization.

Safavid-era architecture such as the tiled domes of Naqsh-e Jahan Square — **The Safavid revival, 1501–1736** — Iran reunified as a world power; Persian art and architecture flower again under Shah Abbas the Great.

Tehran today, with the Azadi Tower and the Alborz mountains — **Tehran & modern Iran** — the capital under the Alborz, from the Constitutional Revolution of 1906 to the city of millions our family calls its origin.
