Naqsh-i Rustam

Japanese: ナクシ・ルスタム(英語表記)Naqsh‐i Rustam
Naqsh-i Rustam
Achaemenid and Sassanid Persian ruins in Fars Province, Iran. Also called Naqsh-i Rustam. Located about 6 km north-northwest of Persepolis, on the cliffs of Ḥusayn Kūh (meaning "Mount Husayn"). Reliefs of Elamite ritual scenes have been found here, and a spring was found nearby, suggesting that it was a religious sanctuary even before the Persian Empire. During the Achaemenid period, the tombs of four kings, starting with Darius I, were dug into the cliffside, and a 12.6-meter-tall stone structure called the "Kaaba of Zoroaster" was built opposite it (there are various theories about its purpose, such as a fire temple, a repository of sacred books, or a mortuary palace).

イランのファールス州にあるアケメネス朝およびササン朝ペルシアの遺跡。ナクシュ・イ・ルスタムともいう。ペルセポリスの北北西約6km,フサイン・クーḤusayn Kūh(〈フサイン山〉の意)の断崖に位置する。エラム時代の祭儀場面の浮彫が発見されており,付近に泉が存在していたことから,ペルシア帝国以前から宗教的聖地であったことが推定される。アケメネス朝時代には,ダレイオス1世以下4代の王墓が崖の中腹に掘り込まれ,これと相対して〈ゾロアスターのカーバ〉と呼ばれる高さ約12.6mの石造建築物(用途について拝火神殿,聖典所蔵庫,殯宮(ひんきゆう)の諸説がある)が建てられた。
