Dokan-e-Davood

Dokan-e-Davood ("Shop of David") is an Achaemenid rock-cut tomb in the Zagros Mountains, located 3 km southeast of Sar-Pol-e Zahab in Kermanshah Province, Iran. Discovered by Henry Rawlinson in 1836, the tomb sits high on a cliff face -- 12 metres above a recess that is itself 10 metres above ground. The antechamber measures 9.6 m wide and 2.6 m high, with columned features. A carved image of a priest suggests it served as a funerary guard post, similar to arrangements at the Tomb of Cyrus the Great.
