Summary
Achaemenid Estate(s) Near Pasargadae? reveals the existence of a significant hydraulic and architectural complex near Pasargadae, likely part of the Achaemenid kings' estate strategy. The study identified traces of water management systems and a building with two porticoes flanked by columns, dating back to the Achaemenid period. This discovery suggests that the site may have served multiple functions, including as a paradise, secondary residence, or agricultural farm, reflecting the strategic land use policies of the Great Kings.
