It rests upon a square base of large blocks of marble, which rise in seven layers pyramidically... On every part of the monument itself are carved inscriptions, which attest the reverence of its visitors; but there is no vestige of any of the characters of ancient Persia or even of the older Arabic. The key is kept by women, and none but females are permitted to enter. The people generally regard it as the monument of the mother of Solomon, and still connect some efficacy with the name; for they point out near the spot a certain water to which those who may have received the bite of a mad dog resort, and by which, if drank within thirty days, the evil effects of the wound are obviated. In eastern story almost every thing wonderful is attached to the Solomon of Scripture: the King however, to whose mother this tomb is said to be raised, is less incredibly, (as the Carmelites of Shiraz suggested to <a href="/wiki/Johan_Albrecht_de_Mandelslo" title="Johan Albrecht de Mandelslo">Mandelsloe</a>), <a href="/wiki/Sulayman_ibn_Abd_al-Malik" title="Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik">Shah Soleiman</a>, the fourteenth Caliph of the race of Ali. But though this supposition is more probable than that it is the monument of <a href="/wiki/Bathsheba" title="Bathsheba">Bathsheba</a>, it is not to my mind satisfactory, as it differs totally from all the tombs of Mahomedan saints which I have ever seen in Persia, Asia Minor, or Turkey.<sup id="cite_ref-Morier_1812_p._144-146_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morier_1812_p._144-146-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <p>Morier then proposed that the tomb may be that of Cyrus, based on the description of <a href="/wiki/Arrian" title="Arrian">Arrian</a>. He noted the similarities as well as the differences, including the lack of the inscription noted by Arrian, the lack of a <a href="/wiki/Grove_(nature)" title="Grove (nature)">grove of trees</a>, and the triangular roof against Arrian's "arched" description: </p> <blockquote><p>If the position of the place had corresponded with the site of Passagardae as well as the form of this structure accords with the description of the tomb of Cyrus near that city, I should have been tempted to assign to the present building so illustrious an origin. That tomb was raised in a grove; it was a small edifice covered with an arched roof of stone, and its entrance was so narrow that the slenderest man could scarcely pass through: it rested on a quadrangular base of a single stone, and contained the celebrated inscription, "mortals, I am Cyrus, son of Cambyses, founder of the Persian monarchy, and Sovereign of Asia, grudge me not therefore this monument". That the plain around Mesjed Madre Suleiman was the site of a great city, is proved by the ruins with which it is strewed; and that this city was of the same general antiquity as Persepolis may be inferred from the existence of a similar character in the inscriptions on the remains of both, though this particular edifice does not happen to display that internal evidence of a contemporaneous date. A grove would naturally have disappeared in modern Persia; the structures correspond in size; the triangular roof of that which I visited might be called arched in an age when the true semi-circular arch was probably unknown; the door was so narrow, that, if I had been allowed to make the attempt, I could scarcely have forced myself through it; and those who kept the key affirmed that the only object within was an immense stone, which might be "the base of a single piece" described by Arrian; but as he was repeating the account of another, the difference is of little consequence, if it exists. I suspect however, as many of the buildings at Persepolis are so put together that they might once have seemed one vast block, that the present structure might also at one time have possessed a similar appearance. The eternity of his monument indeed, which Cyrus contemplated by fixing it on one enormous stone, would be equally attained by the construction of this fabric, which seems destined to survive the revolutions of ages. And in the lapse of two thousand four hundred years, the absence of an inscription on Mesjed Madre Suleiman would not be a decisive evidence against its identity with the tomb of Cyrus.<sup id="cite_ref-Morier_1812_p._144-146_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Morier_1812_p._144-146-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Building_specifications">Building specifications</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tomb_of_Cyrus_the_Great&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Building specifications"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The tomb of Cyrus is located in the southern corner of the site, which was once the royal park of Pasargadae and is built of yellowish-white limestone, probably from the Sivand mine. The tomb building has been resistant to natural and unnatural factors for 2500 years and is still standing in Pasargad plain. Its main base or foundation is a stone platform whose design forms a rectangular square with a length of 13.35 meters and a width of 12.30 meters. This building consists of two completely separate parts: a six-step stone platform, and a room with a gabled roof over the sixth step.<sup id="cite_ref-Shahbazi,_39–42_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shahbazi,_39–42-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The total height of the building is a little over 11 meters. The first platform, which forms the first step, is 165 cm high, but about 60 cm of it was originally uncut and hidden; This means that like the second and third steps, it was exactly 105 cm high. The fourth, fifth and sixth steps are 57.5 cm high each. The width of the platforms is half a meter and the level of the sixth platform, which forms the base of the tomb room, is about 6.40 meters by 5.35 meters.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The tomb room is 3.17 meters long, 2.11 meters wide, and 2.11 meters high. Its wall is up to 1.5 meters thick and is made of four rows of well-cut stone. The first and second rows are taller than the third and fourth rows, and on the northwest side there was apparently a double door that opened slidingly, which is now gone. The current entrance is 78 cm wide and 140 cm high, and its threshold is deep. In each of the two corners of the small threshold, a recess is made for the heel of the door and horizontal grooves 16 cm deep on one side and ten cm deep on the other side, so that the two lintels can be found and placed in them when opened.<sup id="cite_ref-Shahbazi,_39–42_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shahbazi,_39–42-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>At the front of the tomb room, in the upper triangle of the gate, there was a very ornate flower, of which only half, which is very weak, remains today. A European traveler named Johann Albrecht von Mandelslow saw the flower in 1638 and depicted it in a painting of the tomb of Cyrus, but it was long forgotten or otherwise interpreted, until <a href="/wiki/David_Stronach" title="David Stronach">David Stronach</a> recovered, described, and interpreted it in 1964. </p><p> The roof of the tomb is smooth and simple on the inside, but on the outside it is gabled and its two-sided slope is in the shape of the number eight. The roof is made of two precious stones, on which is a pyramid stone with a base of 6.25 meters by 3 meters and a thickness of half a meter, and on it, there was a stone above the roof, which is not available now. It is believed that according to the Achaemenid tradition, in order to lighten and better move the precious stones, they dug inside the roof.<sup id="cite_ref-Shahbazi,_39–42_9-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Shahbazi,_39–42-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Forsat al-Dawla Shirazi had noticed the empty space between the inner roof and the sloping roof outside and considered it a burial place for the dead:<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><blockquote><p>Its roof is sloping on the outside but flat on the inside; Therefore, from the back of this flat roof inside to below the concave roof, it is hollow [= empty] in the shape of a <a href="/wiki/Triangle" title="Triangle">triangle</a>, and there was a burial place of the dead, and in the past the roof was pierced and its stones were broken.

For example, Franz Heinrich Weisbach, a German scholar and orientalist who visited Pasargadae in the late nineteenth century and wrote a description of the buildings in Pasargadae, describes the pillars around the tomb of Cyrus as follows:<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><blockquote><p>The three sides of the tomb are surrounded by 22 columns. Traces can be seen from the double-walled wall that surrounds the columns. The length of each row of columns facing each other is 30 meters and the length of the row of columns perpendicular to these two rows is 32 meters. The length of the two opposite rows from the inner wall is 35 meters and the length of the other part from the inner wall is 42 meters. There is doubt that the outer wall existed from the beginning. The outer wall is a huge wall on which the remains of a gate rest.</p></blockquote><p>Decades before Weisbach, Kerr Porter, who visited the tomb in 1818, expressed his views on the condition of the columns:<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p><blockquote><p>A large area, defined by a base of 24 round pillars, encloses the building like a square. The diameter of each column is 3 feet and 3 inches [approximately 99 cm]. Each side of the square is completed by 6 columns, each of which is 14 feet [approximately 4.27 m] from the side column. The 17 pillars are still standing, but they are surrounded by rubbish, and are deliberately connected by a mud wall.</p></blockquote><p>Different opinions have been expressed about the origin of the architectural style of the building. The range of these views is wide and includes the Greek origin of Asia Minor, the Mediterranean, the Egyptians, the Elamites, and the original Iranians. B.

Another expert of the Cultural Heritage Organization also told the Mehr reporter: "If the restoration of the roof of the tomb was done according to the correct scientific methods, it should have been completed in at least two more years." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Classical_accounts">Classical accounts</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tomb_of_Cyrus_the_Great&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Classical accounts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The most extensive description of the structure, based on a lost account by <a href="/wiki/Aristobulus_of_Cassandreia" title="Aristobulus of Cassandreia">Aristobulus</a> (who had accompanied <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a> on his <a href="/wiki/Wars_of_Alexander_the_Great" title="Wars of Alexander the Great">eastern campaigns</a> in the late fourth century BC), is to be found in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Anabasis_of_Alexander" class="mw-redirect" title="The Anabasis of Alexander">The Anabasis of Alexander</a></i> (6.29), written by <a href="/wiki/Arrian" title="Arrian">Arrian</a> in the second century AD.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Arrian" title="Arrian">Arrian</a>, writing in the second century AD, described the tomb as follows:<sup id="cite_ref-Arrian1893_21-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Arrian1893-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote><p>He was grieved by the outrage committed upon the tomb of Cyrus, son of Cambyses; for according to Aristobulus, he found it dug through and pillaged. The tomb of the famous Cyrus was in the royal park at Pasargadae, and around it a grove of all kinds of trees had been planted. The park was also watered by a stream, and high grass grew in the meadow. The base of the tomb itself had been made of squared stone in the form of a rectangle. Above it there was a stone building surmounted by a roof, with a door leading within, so narrow that even a small man could with difficulty enter, after suffering much discomfort. In the building lay a golden coffin, in which the body of Cyrus had been buried, and by the side of the coffin was a couch, the feet of which were of gold wrought with the hammer. A carpet of Babylonian tapestry with purple rugs formed the bedding; upon it were also a Median coat with sleeves and other tunics of Babylonian manufacture. Aristobulus adds that Median trousers and robes dyed the colour of hyacinth were also lying upon it, as well as others of purple and various other colours; moreover there were collars, sabres, and earrings of gold and precious stones soldered together, and near them stood a table. On the middle of the couch lay the coffin which contained the body of Cyrus. Within the inclosure, near the ascent leading to the tomb, there was a small house built for the Magians who guarded the tomb; a duty which they had discharged ever since the time of Cambyses, son of Cyrus, son succeeding father as guard. To these men a sheep and specified quantities of wheaten flour and wine were given daily by the king; and a horse once a month as a sacrifice to Cyrus. Upon the tomb an inscription in Persian letters had been placed, which bore the following meaning in the Persian language: "O man, I am Cyrus, son of Cambyses, who founded the empire of the Persians, and was king of Asia. Do not therefore grudge me this monument." As soon as Alexander had conquered Persia, he was very desirous of entering the tomb of Cyrus; but he found that everything else had been carried off except the coffin and couch.</p></blockquote> <p><a href="/wiki/Strabo" title="Strabo">Strabo</a> stated that when Alexander the Great looted and destroyed <a href="/wiki/Persepolis" title="Persepolis">Persepolis</a>, he paid a visit to the tomb of Cyrus and commanded Aristobulus, one of his warriors, to enter the monument. Inside he found a golden bed, a table set with drinking vessels, a gold coffin, some ornaments studded with precious stones and an inscription on the tomb. No trace of any such inscription survives. Strabo described it as follows:<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <blockquote><p>Alexander then went to Pasargadae; and this too was an ancient royal residence. Here he saw also, in a park, the tomb of Cyrus; it was a small tower and was concealed within the dense growth of trees. The tomb was solid below, but had a roof and sepulchre above, which latter had an extremely narrow entrance. Aristobulus says that at the behest of the king he passed through this entrance and decorated the tomb; and that he saw a golden couch, a table with cups, a golden coffin, and numerous garments and ornaments set with precious stones; and that he saw all these things on his first visit, but that on a later visit the place had been robbed and everything had been carried off except the couch and the coffin, which had only been broken to pieces, and that the robbers had removed the corpse to another place, a fact which plainly proved that it was an act of plunderers, not of the satrap, since they left behind only what could not easily be carried off; and that the robbery took place even though the tomb was surrounded by a guard of Magi, who received for their maintenance a sheep every day and a horse every month. But just as the remoteness of the countries to which Alexander's army advanced, Bactra and India, had led to numerous other revolutionary acts, so too this was one of the revolutionary acts. Now Aristobulus so states it, and he goes to record the following inscription on the tomb: "O man, I am Cyrus, who acquired the empire for the Persians and was king of Asia; grudge me not, therefore, my monument." Onesicritus, however, states that the tower had ten stories and that Cyrus lay in the uppermost story, and that there was one inscription in Greek, carved in Persian letters, "Here I lie, Cyrus, king of kings," and another written in the Persian language with the same meaning.</p></blockquote> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Architecture">Architecture</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tomb_of_Cyrus_the_Great&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Architecture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The design of Cyrus' tomb is credited to Mesopotamian or Elamite ziggurats, but the <a href="/wiki/Cella" title="Cella">cella</a> is usually attributed to <a href="/wiki/Urartu" title="Urartu">Urartu</a> tombs of an earlier period.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In particular, the tomb at Pasargadae has almost exactly the same dimensions as the tomb of <a href="/wiki/Alyattes_of_Lydia" class="mw-redirect" title="Alyattes of Lydia">Alyattes</a>, father of the Lydian King <a href="/wiki/Croesus" title="Croesus">Croesus</a>; however, some have refused the claim (according to <a href="/wiki/Herodotus" title="Herodotus">Herodotus</a>, Croesus was spared by Cyrus during the conquest of Lydia, and became a member of Cyrus' court).
