"O man, whoever you are and wherever you come from, for I
know that you will come--I am Cyrus, son of Cambyses,
who founded the Empire of
the Persians and was king of the East. Do not grudge me this spot of earth which
covers my body."
Cyrus' tomb can still be seen today in his ancient
capital, Pasargadae ("City of the Persians"). This replica sculpture,
constructed of resin, features an engraved plate on the front using the name as
originally pronounced in the Elamite
language.
