  Everyone knows about the Egyptian pyramids and tombs of the Pharaohs. However, not everyone has heard about the massive tombs, which have more than two thousand years, located in the heart of Iran, in the former Persia. We suggest you find a place closer.
  Six kilometers from the Iranian town of Persepolis are the ancient rock reliefs, and several tombs of ancient Persian kings, called the common name - Naqsh-i Rustam. The first relief in this area appeared more than three thousand years ago. Others set up in a later period, and very "young" to today 1,700 years. Its name was due to the terrain legend of the Persians that all reliefs created in honor of the hero of the epic - Rustam. Besides the four tombs of kings, in the cemetery located "Cube of Zoroaster" - a mysterious building. According to some assumptions, this place was created for the ritual fire Zoroastrians. According to another version, a cube is the tomb of Cyrus the Great.
