Wikimedia Commons · Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported · file 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.
