Archaeological Sites: Taq-i Bustan
![Taq-i Bustan, large grotto.](images/header-taq-i-bustan.jpg)
In Taq-i Bustan, some 5 kilometers from the modern city of Kirmanshah in western Iran, early travelers documented a grotto with a series of large rock reliefs dating from the late Sasanian period. Herzfeld dated these to the period of the Sasanian ruler Khusraw II (591-628 CE). Later scholars proposed various dates between the fifth and seventh century CE. These squeezes are from the Sassanid rock reliefs, with one from an unidentified gravestone in Kale-i Khosrawi.
