At some point in the past few weeks, Google has improved their coverage of Persepolis. Features of the site are now clearly visible from an altitude of ca. 2 kilometers. You can use Google Earth, or Google maps to view the sites:
Persepolis
Pasargadae
Naqsh-i-Rustam
It is interesting to compare these images with those taken by Erich Schmidt in his Aerial Survey
This site provides information on the Persepolis Fortification Archive project based at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

Oriental Institute Website Redesign
On Wednesday, February 7, 2007, the Oriental Institute launched its new website redesign. Most links to that site still work, though, significantly, links to individual photographs do not. I am working to rebuild any such broken links here on the Persepolis Fortification Archive Project blog. If you see any, send me a message, or leave a comment. Thanks.
