Persepolis

I am Xerxes, Great King, King of Kings, King of lands, King of many races... son of Darius the King, the Achaemenid... Many other beautiful things were constructed in Persia. I constructed them and my father constructed them.
Inscribed in cuneiform in Persian, Babylonian and Elamite, above the bull-like figures of Xerxes' gate
