 | | The modern Persians call this place Naqsh-e Rustam ("the picture of Rustam"), from the Sassanian reliefs beneath the opening, which they take to be a representation of the mythical hero Rustam. |
 | | Hence the kings buried at Nakshi Rustam are probably, besides Darius the Great, Xerxes I, Artaxerxes I and Darius II. |
 | | We learn from Asian writers that one of the Buyid (Buwaihid) sultans in the 10th century of the Flight constructed the great cisterns, which may yet be seen, and have been visited, amongst others, by James Morier and E. Flandin. |
