Colossal statues of himself and the major Gods (both Greek & Persian) of the kingdom were placed on the terraces and the summit became a sanctuary where the king was worshipped. This enigmatic site was discovered in 1881 by a German engineer, Karl Sester, but was not fully documented until the 1990’s.
