Persiana discovered 6 months ago- Discovery of one of the ten largest Achaemenid buildings (c. 400 BC) From the page: "Have the archaeologists reached the ancient city of Lidoma, mentioned in historical plates?" "... the Iranian chief of the excavation site in this area, confirming the above news, said: The excavations have been going on from January and has reached a balcony and a hall and stairway belonging to a large building. As of Jan 2008 - after 1 year of excavation He added: This Achaemenid building has huge columns with a base about one meter thick. The styles of columns are the same as the Persepolis columns. The dimensions are similar to columns of Hall of Hundred Columns of Persepolis. According to this report, there are traces of lotus flowers on the base of columns and the colour of the columns are the same as the Persepolis columns. He pointed out to the fact that the discovery of this building has created several questions and said: The exact date of Achaemenid period in which the building was erected is not yet clear. The building could be one of the buildings of the famous Lidoma city, which has been mentioned in Persepolis plates." "Asgari pointed out that the remains of a large building with columns in this region, along with numerous stone made pots, similar to those found in Persepolis area suggest that maybe as Herodotus has said, the king's road passed by this area. Or as Hertzfeld and Stein suggest this area could have been a caravanserai in the kings' road towards Shush (Susa). Some have also suggested that this place could have been a depot for collecting and storing the tax of the region." Related news in Feb 2007 - Initial excavation report: Ancient Site Found in Fars
