There is no firmer testament to this evolution than the Pazyryk Carpet, a masterpiece dated to be 2,500 years old, whose motifs correspond precisely with the stonework and reliefs found at Persepolis. This provides strong evidence that the art of carpet weaving had already reached a state of perfection during the Achaemenid Empire!
