Darius I, King of the Achaemenid Empire, opens the tomb of the Babylonian Queen Nitocris. A story tells that Nitocris had herself entombed above a city gate, believing that Darius would not use that gate because he would not walk beneath a corpse. From an 18th century print after a painting by Eustache Lesueur.
