==Archaeological history== In 1936, Aurel Stein, a British archaeologist and explorer, wrote about the tomb and defensive constructions further along, and Wolfram Kleiss prepared sketches of the tombs. In 1896, Jacques de Morgan made an overall plan, including the precise detail of the tomb's interior and columns, with a copy of the inscriptions already mentioned by Rawlinson, which he subsequently published.
