Gur-e Dokhtar is an ancient Achaemenid stone tomb in Dashtestan County, Bushehr Province, Iran, standing 4.45 meters high. Dating to the 5th century BC, it mirrors the architectural style of Cyrus II's tomb at Pasargadae but at a smaller scale. Scholars have proposed that it housed either Cyrus I, the Great's grandfather, or Cyrus the Younger, a later descendant, though attribution remains uncertain. Recognized as part of Iran's National Heritage, the monument exemplifies the monumental burial traditions of the Achaemenid empire.
