According to historical records, Khayyam was buried in a modest grave in Nishapur, under the shade of trees and surrounded by the natural beauty he so often referenced in his verses. His burial site, described by his contemporaries as humble yet poetic, has been a site of quiet pilgrimage for centuries. Following extensive consultation with religious leaders, cultural heritage experts, and the descendants of Khayyam’s lineage, a cautious and limited exhumation was approved under strict ethical guidelines. The objective was to assess the grave’s condition, verify its historical features, and prepare for its protection and restoration.
