Tomb of Ferdowsi In a small village named Tus - about 20 km north of Mashhad - there is a buried man who had a special impact on Iranian culture and Persian language (Farsi). Abul-Qasim Ferdowsi Tusi - better known as "Ferdowsi" - was a Persian poet and author of Shahnameh (Book of King) Ferdowsi was born in 940 in paj village, near the city of Tus and passed away in 1025. Tus was a great city until the invasion of Mongols. After that, it was getting declined and Mashhad became increasingly important. Ferdowsi's role in Iranian culture is unique: it's because of his works that Persian language is alive today, and getting used in many countries around Iran (such as Afghanistan, Tajikistan, etc) . all Iranian poets afterwards (e.g. Hafiz, Saadi) worked on the foundation he made and brought farsi to perfection. I'll explain more about him and his works in future. I shot this images in a cloudy day. most of images are taken in tomb yard. Last one is grave of Ferdowsi. Tus,Mashhad,North East Iran August 2022
