Goor-e Dokhtar is an ancient tomb located in the province of Bushehr. The structure of 'Goor Dokhtar' (literally the daughter's tomb) is very similar to the mausoleum of Koorush the great (Cyrus II's tomb) in Pasargad (about 600 BC.).
There are some ideas about ordination of it to the Cyrus the Younger (the son of Darius II), Chish Pish or Cyrus I (the forefather of Cyrus the Great), Atusa (the daughter of Cyrus), Mandana (the mother of Cyrus) or the sister of Cyrus the Great due to the lack of any epigraphy on the Goor Dokhtar Monument.
