Not sure about the statues, but the script on the wall behind them looks like it could be Persian.

Esfahan, Iran?

The markings on the near edge of the wall... I'm not sure what I'm seeing.

I see the same symbol that's carved along the bottom of the wall. Looks like a bird, or something. Either way, it's a single image repeated over and over.

Alright losers, I suppose it's time for a hint :evildude:
