Persepolis Site-Emblem T-Shirt, Iran

The monumental stone bulls of the Gate of All Nations, printed with our own catalogued coordinates and an honest note on the limits of the test we can run here. Beneath it: Persepolis, Iran, 29.935278, 52.890833. The ceremonial capital Darius began and Alexander burned.

• Gate of All Nations print, engraved gold-on-dark line art
• Coverage note rather than a geometry diagram: our engine could reach only five catalogued sites in the region, too few to test
• Coordinates (29.935278, 52.890833) printed beneath the monument and country
• Soft, pre-shrunk cotton, for a capital that shaped an empire

Why this site. Persepolis is in our atlas, though currently as a record of its offering-bearer reliefs rather than the terrace as a whole, which is the kind of detail we would rather tell you than paper over. What we cannot do is run a meaningful geometry test: only five catalogued sites fall inside our search radius, and five is not enough for the null model to say anything. Fars is on the list to improve. The burning of Persepolis in 330 BC is one of the few destruction events in antiquity we can date and see in the archaeology, and that needs no help from us.
