Tus, Iran
Tus also spelled as Tous, Toos or Tūs, is an ancient city in the Iranian province of Razavi Khorasan. To the ancient Greeks, it was known as Susia. It was captured by Alexander the Great in 330 BCE. On his way to solve the unrest in Khorasan in 809, the Abbasid Caliph Harun Al-Rashid fell ill and died in Tus. The city was almost entirely destroyed by Genghis Khan's Mongol conquest during 1220-1259. Perhaps the most famous resident was the poet Ferdowsi, author of the Persian epic Shahnameh.
