Darius the Great of Persia died in 486 B.C. and was buried in a tomb cut in the south face of a steep rocky ridge about nine or ten miles northwest of Persepolis. His tomb is the third in a row of four, if we start counting from the west. The rocky ridge is called Husain Kūh or the ‘Mountain of Husain’, but Occidentals more commonly call it Nakš-i Rustam ‘Portrait of Rustam’, a name properly belonging to the tomb of Darius and its sculptured reliefs
