The
tomb
of
Ferdowsi
is
considered
as
one
of
the
most
honorable
cultural
attractions
of
Iran,
which
is
located
in
northeastern
holy
city
of
Mashhad
in
Toos
garden.
Abol'qasim
Ferdowsi
of
Toos
is
the
most
prominent
epic
poet
of
Iran
who
is
also
regarded
very
highly
on
a
global
scale.
The
literary
masterpiece
of
Ferdowsi
is
called
Shaah'nameh
or
the
book
of
kings
and
is
actually
the
longest
epic
poem
in
the
entire
world.
Ferdowsi
spend
thirty
years
of
his
life
writing
this
masterpiece
which
is
firmly
believed
that
it
was
because
of
this
work
that
Farsi
language
was
saved
from
demise
and
oblivion.
The
tomb
edifice
is
inspired
by
the
tomb
of
Cyrus
the
great
and
is
cubic
in
shape
some
of
whose
profiles
show
inscriptions
of
Ferdowsi's
poems
taken
the
book
of
kings.
Beside
the
tomb
of
Ferdowsi,
there
is
a
vast
pool
at
the
end
of
which
there
is
the
statue
of
this
great
epic
poet
welcoming
the
visitors.
On
the
northwest
of
the
tomb
territory,
there
is
the
burial
site
of
another
great
Iranian
contemporary
poet,
that
is,
Mehdi
Akhavan.
Among
other
spectacular
aspects
of
the
tomb
is
Ferdowsi
museum
in
which
cultural
and
historical
items
are
being
kept
such
as
pre-historical
stone-made
items,
various
types
and
versions
of
the
book
of
kings,
and
a
number
of
paintings
portraying
scenes
adopted
from
this
masterpiece.
