Best Answer

He burnt Persepolis, but although he claimed it as a reprisal (it had happened in Athens 150 years earlier(!) in 480 BCE when the Persians destroyed the gods in reprisal for Athens destroying their gods in the Persian provincial capital of Sardis), he was really destroying the capital of the Persian Empire which he was taking over, and wanted to establish a new capital of his own at Babylon, and not leave a Persian rallying point.
