1. Birth at Pazh

   0940-01-01 · Pazh, Tus district, Razavi Khorasan, Iran

   

   Ferdowsi was born at Pazh (also rendered Bāž or Pāz), a village in the Tus district of Khorasan. The exact modern location of medieval Pazh is uncertain; coordinates represent the Tus district/city area named by the source.

2. Death at Tus

   1025-01-01 · Tus, Razavi Khorasan, Iran

   

   Ferdowsi died at Tus, the Khorasan city with which he was identified throughout his life and where his tomb tradition developed. Medieval reports differ between 1020 and 1025; the canonical English Wikipedia article gives 1025, while Encyclopaedia Iranica regards 1025 as the more probable date if the later narrative account is accepted. Coordinates represent ancient Tus rather than an exact death site.
