Purpose: The purpose is to investigate the history of Persepolis Man-made Jungle, that was built to serve the 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire (Imperial Celebrations).
Method and Research Design: Archival records of the National Archives of Iran and Harvard University Oral History Project were studied and analyzed using historical method.
Findings and Conclusion: Persepolis Jungle is a rare man-made jungle developed in Iran and one of the most extensive interventions in the Persepolis Historical Site. Mehdi Pirasteh, the governor of Fars was the mastermind and primary organizer. The Society of National Heritage disagreed with the plan and was against it since the intervention would have damaged the remnants of palaces and eliminated the potential for further archaeological excavations. However, the governor convinced the Shah, obtained royal confirmation, and implemented his plan. Despite the disputes about ownership, sapling and water supply, and budget, utilizing local technologies such as qanat, and local individuals’ participation in transferring their land free of charge decreased the costs.
