Cyrus reigned as king of Anshan while his brother Ariaramnes was king of Parsa. His suggested identification with Cyrus would help connect the Achaemenid dynasty to the major events of the 7th century BC. Cyrus was succeeded by his son Cambyses I. His grandson would come to be known as Cyrus the Great, founder of the Persian Empire. It has been suggested by Louis Vandenberg that the Gur-e-Dokhtar is the tomb of Cyrus I.[citation needed] This is because all Achaemenid kings after Darius the Great were buried in rock-cut tombs, and because a similar building has been attributed to Cyrus the Great, it seemed logical to assume that a tomb like this must have been erected prior to the reign of Cyrus. 6th-century BC Kings of Anshan (Persia) 6th-century BC Kings of Anshan (Persia) ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7853.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7853.txt
