CYRUS THE GREAT WAS KILLED
530 B.C.E. Ú CYRUS THE GREAT WAS KILLED
The emperor was killed in battlefield from a wound inflicted from a poisonous arrow during a campaign against the Massagetes of central Asia . Cyrus’ body was brought back to Pasargadae in Persia; his tomb, which still exists, consists of a single chamber built on a foundation course of six steps. The body was placed in a golden sarcophagus, and the tomb bore the inscription. He is considered as the most respected world leaders to date. He considered all nations equal in terms of their rights and respected the culture, language, and religion of subdued nations. Cyrus was relatively liberal. While he himself ruled according to Zoroastrian beliefs, he made no attempt to impose Zoroastrianism on the people of his subject territories. He was a very down to earth person and always fought side by side with his soldiers and never left them alone on the battlefield.
His last wish was to be buried in Pasargadae Pasargadae
