999 places I want to go~ Tomb of Shah Cheragh in Iran

The Tomb of Lamp King is the burial place of two sons of the seventh Shia Imam Kadhim (buried in Baghdad), Ahmad and Muhammad, who fled here to escape the pursuit of the Abbasid dynasty around 900 AD and were eventually caught and Murdered. At first, there were only tombs here. Later, a local Aya Tula passed by and found light coming out of a cave. After excavation, the tomb was named "Lamp King". A magnificent mosque and theological college were built on the original site. The building was first constructed in the 12th century and was designed in its current form in the 14th century. From the ceiling to the walls inside the tomb, millions of mirror fragments, stained glass, and crystal chandeliers are decorated. When the sunlight shines in, it reflects in all directions, creating a gorgeous and dreamy visual effect, making people feel like they have stepped into a kaleidoscope. Shah Cheragh means "King of Light". There are some theories about why it is called the "King of Light". Some people believe that before the reign of Amir Adud Al-Dawla, no one knew where Ahamed-Ebne-Musa was buried. There were some houses around. An old woman lived there. She saw the lights on every Thursday night. It shone until sunrise. After a while, she thought that it might be the tomb of a divine hero. She decided to inform Amir Adud Al-Dawla. The Amir believed her and decided to go there on the first Thursday. The king went to the old woman's house and asked her to inform him as soon as she saw the light. Soon, the old woman saw the light and exclaimed three times, "King! Light!" The king saw the dawn and sent someone to investigate who was buried there.
