Arthur Pope wrote about this building:
Under the eastern side of the Alborz mountains and in front of the vast deserts of Asia, one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of Iran stands tall with all its grandeur. This building is the dome of Kavus, the tomb of Kavus bin Vashemir, and the tower of the tomb is far from any decoration. A warrior with the power of faith in face-to-face combat, a poet’s kingdom in battle with eternity, is there such a great and mighty tomb.
