Persepolis from Above

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
