Cyrus the Great's Lost Tomb: A 2,500-Year-Old Mystery
Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire, was buried in a modest stone tomb at Pasargadae that still stands today. But who built it? How was it protected? And what happened when Alexander the Great visited? In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the archaeology, legends, and controversies surrounding the tomb of Cyrus — from its design and inscriptions to the magi who guarded it and the modern threats it faces. They also discuss the 1971 celebrations at the site and why the tomb remains a symbol of Iranian identity. #CyrusTheGreat #Pasargadae #AchaemenidEmpire #TombOfCyrus…
