This amazing historical place called Persepolis (old Persian Parsa, modern Takht-e Jamshid) located in Iran (Persia) where lots of roots and important events in history comes from this place, must mention about 2500 years ago.

It’s always so emotional and great for me to look at Perspolis and such, where civilization and knowledge of man come from! A place that Mankind made from nothing to everything as perfect as possible! That much perfect that we from this century still amazed of that much of power and confidence of soul!

The lion is very traditional symbol for Persian people and their history here it refers to roots and civilization, the sword is power and individuality and as you can see a female warrior handing the sword to the lion (In history of the time woman had great rights and attention, woman was the real meaning of a woman (not a ... tool or little better than animal or should I say neither of the sex were trying to dominate the other one it was all in harmony ) therefore we had great female warriors if that was their talent and their choice! 

*By choosing female warrior I was not trying to make a point except there is no different, we normally see male in seen so I wanted to break the standards and be different not to mention about the reality of ancient female warriors that some people didn’t know about! She is the symbol of the people.

I hope this short explanation could be helpful understanding this painting!

Love and Peace
