Pasargadae (Persian: پاسارگاد Pāsārgād), the capital of Cyrus the Great (559-530 BC) and also his last resting place, was a city in ancient Persia, and is today an archaeological site and one of Iran's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In the Elamite cuneiform of the Persepolis fortification tablets, the name was rendered Batrakataš; the name in current usage derives from a Greek transliteration of an Old Persian Pâthragâda, a toponym of still-uncertain meaning.
