Ancient carved Marble stone (Hagmatāna museum)

Description

This is an ancient carved Marble stone from Hamadan Stone museum located in Heart of the Hamadan inside the heritage site of the Hegmataneh ancient city. I used about 30 photos to make this. Ecbatana (/ɛkˈbætənə/; Old Persian: 𐏃𐎥𐎶𐎫𐎠𐎴 Hagmatāna or Haŋmatāna,[1] literally "the place of gathering", Elamite: 𒀝𒈠𒁕𒈾 Ag-ma-da-na Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭧𐭬𐭲𐭠𐭭‏‎‎ and Parthian: 𐭀𐭇𐭌𐭕𐭍‎ Ahmadān, Aramaic: אַחְמְתָא‎ Aḥmeta, Ancient Greek: Ἀγβάτανα in Aeschylus and Herodotus,Ἐκβάτανα, Akkadian: 𒆳𒀀𒃵𒋫𒉡 kura-gam-ta-nu in the Nabonidus Chronicle) was an ancient city in Media in western Iran. It is believed that Ecbatana is in Hagmatana Hill (Tappe-ye Hagmatāna), an archaeological mound in Hamedan. Source:Wikipedia
