Persepolis was burnt by Egyptians

[Cyrus]

Why?

[Cyrus]

There is no evidence which indicates that Greeks or Macedonians destroyed Persepolis but there are many for Egyptians.
"With the outbreak of war between Darius III and Alexander, and the fall of Persepolis, the invading soldiers first set to destroy the statue of Darius the Great, as a symbol of the Kingdom of Persians.
The statue of Darius I (the Great) was discovered in 1971 by a group of French archeologists working in the area of Kings' palaces. It shows the Achaemenid King in ceremonial clothes, with one hand on his chest and the other gathered in a fist. There are also 24 frames at its base, symbolizing the 24 nations under Iran's rule.
The damage assessments show that invaders had first tried to cut the stone work into pieces, but did not succeed and decided to just disrespect it and remove its identity by destroying the name of Darius. Fortunately only one of the names written in hieroglyph was destroyed and the other ones which were in other languages were left untouched. It seems invaders knew only Egyptian language and not even Greek"

All right, I'll bite. Are you sure it wasn't the Taliban? Now you can let me hear the end of your joke. Wait just one minute, I know what happened, Alexander sold round trip tickets for one silver drachm which included music, winners, marshmallows and all the wine you can drink, just imagine all the camp fire stories and songs, I heard it was quite a blast.

Please my friend,there are lots of evidences in so many top sources that Persepolis was burnt following ATG's desire after a "symposium",and as it is well known,instigated by Thais an Athenian courtesan.I think we should discuss diferent points of view here about ATG,but with a minimum ground in our statements.Best wishes!!!

"LOL, Nice Campfires!...quite a blast! Your killing me Andy! I'm still sticking by the almost as fun story that it was the Persians themselves...when they heard about Darius' 2nd brilliant dash from the field, it was a riot which rivaled Detroit and East L.A. after O.J.'s drive (dash) down the expressway on international television. T.V.'s, VCR's, and all the expensive sound equipment were stripped and looted from the palace first, then it was a bonfire to end all bonfires...and a good time was had by all! later Nicator (still laughin' over that one
