Persepolis

Persepolis is an ancient capital of the Achaemenid Empire, located in modern Marvdasht, Fars Province, Iran. Built by Darius the Great and expanded upon by his son, Xerxes I and grandson, Artaxerxes I, Persepolis served as the center of Persia and was the seat of their government. It was conquered by Alexander the Great and abandoned in 330 BCE, with much of the city used to construct Istakhr.

The Cup of Jamshid was recovered at the site of Persepolis by the SCP Foundation; as it was later determined to be not anomalous, it was sent to Site-33's General Non-Anomalous Testing and Containment facility and later destroyed as part of clean-up.Spring Cleaning

In 1911, an Englishman named Davies unearthed the skeletons of SCP-1150 hosts at Persepolis. This awakened the 1150 instances, and it is likely that they transferred into Davies and spread throughout the world.Entry Page: 1150
