Descripción
English: Stone relief in Naqsh-e Rustam — ancient Persian Sasanian art in Fars province - Iran.
  • Kartir was the high priest and vizier (“Moebed” in Pahlavi language) during the reign of several Sasanian kings. He accessed stronger and stronger responsabilities until the reign of Bahram II, where he gained a substantial influence on the king and on the empire politics. Under his office, Zoroastrism will become the official state religion in the 2nd Persian empire, and other religions such as Christianism will be persecuted.
  • As the Roman empire tried several time to expand its eastern borders, several wars were engaged between the Persian and the Romans. On the same time, Nestorian Christianism did expand on the Iranian plateau, and Christians were then considered as potential allied with the Romans. Zoroastrism gained with Kartir an organized clergy and was then used as an efficient control instrument of the population serving the monarchy. Some scholars see in that strong and influent zoroastrian clergy some of the origins of the Shia clergy after the Muslim invasion of Iran.
  • Kartir has been even so important that he is the only non royal person allowed to carve his own reliefs, being present on 5 rock reliefs near the king, writing several inscriptions such as this one, close to the investiture relief of Ardeshir at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dynamosquito/3101462500/"> Naqsh-e Rajab III</a>. This relief was an addition on the investiture scene, were Kartir is shown paying respect to the king by curving his 2nd finger forward.
  • The inscription is written in Pahlavi language and details Kartir’s vision of faith, hell and paradise, good and bad. Kartir can be easily recognized by the fact he is not bearded (see also his image on <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dynamosquito/2378342254/"> Sarab-e Bahram</a>) and sometime has a cisor symbol on his hat.
Taken in Naqsh-e Rajab, vicinity of Marvdasht, Province of Fars, Iran, April 2008.
