the article showed a photo of a single row of stone seats, IIRC without back rests.
the archeologist who examined the structure said it didn't belong to the original complex and dated to Alexanders time. the orientation of the seats didn't make sense until you sat down on it and figured out what you would have seen 2300 years ago when Persepolis was built up and intact. the location and orientation offered the best view of the fire.
