Menschen aus verschiedenen Ländern an der Mauer von Apadana, Persepolis. Iran

[Explanation:](https://www.livius.org/articles/place/persepolis/persepolis-photos/persepolis-apadana-east-stairs/)

«The East Stairs of the Apadana at Persepolis show a procession of people bringing tribute to the Achaemenid king. The reliefs were made in the last years of the sixth and first years of the fifth century, and were probably executed by Greek artists»

«Like their neighbors, the Medes, the Armenians wear horseman’s dresses and cloaks. Their tribute consists of a/o a bridled stallion, which more or less confirms the statement by the Greek geographer Strabo of Amasia that the Armenians paid 20,000 colts. The Armenians carry the other present for the king: a beautiful metal vessel with griffin handles. These objects have been found. The Armenian’s turban resembles the Median headgear, although he has the cheek parts tied in his neck»

Love that they even got the Armenian nose right.

Since when does the Kurdistan flag represent Medes, Syrian rebel flag for Assyrians? LMAO

Assigning modern day flags to ancient populations is low IQ shit, but messing it up this much is next level
