Miracles at the Tomb of Daniel 🇮🇷 Ancient Susa, Iran
The Tomb of Daniel and miracles that occurred on that holy site. From Volume 4 of the Legends of the Jews by Rabbi Louis Ginzberg. Pictures, audio and music editing by me. LibriVox recording. Public domain. Susa (Hebrew Shushan) is one the most important cities of the Ancient Near East, Susa served as the capital of Elam and the Persian Achaemenid Empire, and remained a strategic centre during the Parthian and Sasanian periods. That is where Prophet Daniel rests. The site is sacred to the Jews, Moslems and Christians.
Biblical texts
Susa (lays next to the Iraqi border in Khuzestan province of Iran) is mentioned in the BIBLE by the name Shushan, mainly in The Book of Esther, but also once each in the Book of Nehemiah and the Book of Daniel. According to these texts, Nehemiah also lived in Susa during the Babylonian captivity of the 6th century BCE (Daniel mentions it in a prophetic vision), while Esther became queen there, married to King Ahasuerus, and saved the Jews from genocide. Susa is further mentioned in the Book of Jubilees (8:21 & 9:2) as one of the places within the inheritance of Shem and his eldest son Elam; and in 8:1, "Susan" is also named as the son (or daughter, in some translations) of Elam. A tomb of Daniel is located in the area, known as Shush-Daniel.
THE GRAVE OF DANIEL
Daniel was buried in Shushan (Susa, Iran), on account of which a sore quarrel was enkindled among the inhabitants of the city. Shushan (Susa) is divided in two parts by a river (Karkheh and Dez Rivers). The side containing the grave of Daniel was occupied by the wealthy inhabitants, and the poor citizens lived on the other side of the river. The latter maintained that they, too, would be rich if the grave of Daniel were in their quarter. The frequent disputes and conflicts were finally adjusted by a compromise; one year the bier of Daniel reposed on one side of the river, the next year on the other. When the Persian king Sanjar came to Shushan, he put a stop to the practice of dragging the bier hither and thither. He resorted to another device for guarding the peace of the city. He had the bier suspended from chains precisely in the middle of the bridge spanning the river. In the same spot he erected a house of prayer for all confessions, and out of respect to Daniel he prohibited fishing in the river for a distance of a mile on either side of the memorial building. The sacredness of the spot appeared when the godless tried to pass by. They were drowned, while the pious remained unscathed. Furthermore, the fish that swam near it had heads glittering like gold.
Beside the house of Daniel lay a stone, under which he had concealed the holy Temple vessels. Once an attempt was made to roll the stone from its place, but whoever ventured to touch it, fell dead. The same fate overtook all who later tried to make excavations near the spot; a storm broke out and mowed them down.

SUSA (SHUSHAN) IN HISTORY:
Based on C14 dating, the foundation of a settlement there occurred as early as 4395 BC (a calibrated radio-carbon date). At this stage it was already very large for the time, about 15 hectares. Susa underwent a major political and ethnocultural transition when it became part of the Persian Achaemenid empire between 540 and 539 BCE being captured by Cyrus the Great during his conquest of Elam (Susiana), of which Susa was the capital. The Nabonidus Chronicle records that, prior to the battle(s), Nabonidus had ordered cult statues from outlying Babylonian cities to be brought into the capital, suggesting that the conflict over Susa had begun possibly in the winter of 540 BCE. It is probable that Cyrus negotiated with the Babylonian generals to obtain a compromise on their part and therefore avoid an armed confrontation. Nabonidus was staying in the city at the time and soon fled to the capital, Babylon, which he had not visited in years. Cyrus' conquest of Susa and the rest of Babylonia commenced a fundamental shift, bringing Susa under Persian control for the first time. Under Cyrus' son Cambyses II, Susa became a center of political power as one of 4 capitals of the Achaemenid Persian empire, while reducing the significance of Pasargadae as the capital of Persis. Following Cambyses' brief rule, Darius the Great began a major building program in Susa and Persepolis,which included building a large palace.
Events mentioned in the Old Testament book of Esther are said to have occurred in Susa during the Achaemenid period.
