Exhumation and Preservation of Omar Khayyam’s

The undertaking was motivated by several converging factors: the need for structural reinforcement of the cemetery grounds due to seismic activity in the region, growing concerns regarding water damage and erosion, and academic interest in confirming the exact burial location and layout as recorded in medieval Persian texts. The process was approached with solemnity. Religious scholars, historians, archaeologists, and local authorities collaborated to ensure the dignity of the sage was preserved at every step. Prayers were recited before any work commenced, and the area was cordoned off to maintain sanctity and minimize public disruption.
