Tomb of Cyrus

The tomb of the Persian Founding Father Cyrus the Great was built in 530 BC in Pasalgarde, about 130 km northeast of Shiraz. The tomb was built with huge stones, with a six-story ladder-style base and a rectangular tomb room. The tomb is simple and rough, and stands alone on the field.

The founder of the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great, who perished the Persian Empire, from the Greek East, 200 years after Cyrus' death, not only did not destroy his tomb, but also ordered repairs.

The tomb in front of us is a 7-story building made of huge granite, the uppermost floor is an ordinary rectangular tomb, the tomb is long 3.17 meters, wide 2.11 meters, high 2.11 meters, there is a low and narrow entrance. The mausoleums, which are stacked with tall rock, are surrounded by tourists from all over the world. The tour guides have a colorful introduction to the history of the Persian Empire. It is estimated that the content should be similar to the above information. There are few Chinese tourists here, and there are a few rustic sounds in front of Persianpolis, and it seems that there are not many Chinese tourists here. We visited the six scenic spots scattered in this scenic spot by walking and taking a chartered car, and felt the barrenness and ruthlessness of the years under the hot sun.

The King of Cyrus, as recorded in the Bible in Ezra, was Cyrus, who started his family as a small leader in southwestern Iran, and after a series of victories, defeated three empires, namely Medes, Lydia, and Babylon, and unified most of the ancient Middle East. The great empire from India to the Mediterranean was established. Today, the Iranians call Cyrus the "father of the nation", but the tomb is said to be Cyrus II's, or a cloaked figurehead.

Cyrus the Great tomb is located in the Pasargard site. It looks a bit like a rudimentary barren place today, but historically it was said to be luxurious when buried, but later the baby was robbed and the tomb was destroyed.
