Pasargadae, Iran | World Heritage Site of Cyrus the Great's Tomb

| World Heritage Site of Cyrus the Great's Tomb.✨ This is Pasargadae, Iran. Here lies the founder of the Persian Empire—Cyrus the Great, whose life was the epitome of a legendary saga. 🎈The solitary tomb of Cyrus the Great stands proudly in the boundless wilderness, as if to provide the last testament to the glory of a brave and skilled warrior. For 2500 years, despite conquests by Alexander the Great and the Mongol cavalry, who destroyed the buildings on this land, only the tomb of Cyrus the Great has been preserved. Perhaps this is the result of a mutual respect among heroes. 🎭Much like the legends surrounding many Chinese emperors, dreams played a significant role in their narratives. Cyrus the Great's maternal grandfather was Astyages, the dominant king of the Median Empire in the Middle East. He dreamt that his daughter's belly was covered with grapevines that entwined around the whole of Asia, interpreting it as a sign that his grandson would threaten his throne. Therefore, upon the child's birth, he ordered his guard Harpagus to dispose of the infant. 🔊However, Harpagus couldn't bear to do it and handed the child over to a shepherd to carry out the deed. The shepherd then raised the child, and ultimately, Harpagus helped him ascend to the throne. ⚔Later on, Cyrus the Great defeated the Medes, Lydians, and the Neo-Babylonian Empire, establishing a vast empire that spanned Asia, Africa, and Europe. 🎏Standing now in Pasargadae, the capital of the Persian Empire, in front of the tomb of Cyrus the Great, Iranians still remember the founder of the Persian Empire. It is said, 'Speak not of the entitlements of ennoblement, for one man's triumphs may come at the cost of many lives.' Regardless of whether a great nation rises or the world is united, in the end, all will change, and dust will return to dust, earth to earth. Tomb of Cyrus the Great

Located 40 kilometers northeast of the site of Persepolis, the site is scattered, including the tomb of Cyrus. Passalgard was the capital of the first dynasty of the Achaemenid Empire. Cyrus II began construction of the city in 546 years ago, but was not completed because Cyrus II was killed in the war in the first 530 or 529 years. However, Passalgard remained the capital of the Achaemenid Empire until Darius I planned to build in Persepolis. Passalgard's ruins range from 1.6 square kilometers, including a building that is generally considered to be the tomb of Cyrus II, a fortress on the nearby hills and the ruins of two palaces and gardens.

The Cyrus Tomb is actually four large cross-shaped tombs carved on cliffs, where four great emperors in the history of Persia are buried: from left to right, Darius II, Al Artaxerxes I, Darius I, Xerxes I. The first three are lined up, and the mausoleum of Xerxes I is excavated on a mountain that is connected at right angles to it. The overall structure of the four tombs is roughly the same. Above the cross-shaped mausoleum, there is an idol of the ancient Iranian god of high gods and wisdom, Ahula Mazda, representing the thoughts of the monarchical authority. This stone mountain relief is indeed a wonderful work, but the weather is too hot, and we are not familiar with the history of Persia, we are less interested in these nature. When I left the attraction, I bought three bottles of water and gave the master a bottle. He asked me what I felt like here, looking at his proud eyes, can I say no?
