Since a long time ago Pasargadae palaces known as the first capital of the Achaemenian Empire and the first sample of an Iranian garden have been considered in Iranian history and archaeology. After the collapse of the Achaemenid Empire and the abandoned Pasargadae and before the registration and protection of these unique palaces, has been done much damage in this site, in passing time everyone has traced his memorial to the Pasargadae.
One of the pieces of evidence that do not always equal the greatness of Pasargadae are many petroglyphs anywhere on this site after being abandoned and until recently visible on the stone Monuments of Pasargadae.
This paper only focused on describes, typology, and classification of human and animal petroglyphs existing in Pasargadae.
