Bas-relief from ancient Persepolis - a symbol Zoroastrian Nowruz - in day of a spring equinox power of eternally fighting bull (personifying the Earth), and a lion (personifying the Sun), are equal (Though lions were not a symbol of royalty in the achamenid era and were in fact a game to be hunted)

I'm always interested in ancient relics like these. There is much to learn from them, but it's hard to get it right since so many people have so many different opinions about there meaning. Pretty picture as well ;)

True the only ones who would know for sure are those ancient artists who made them, many thanks.
