I had a few busy days to visit the regions of Mazandaran and Golestan provinces.
During the trip of the CEO of the company in which I work, I was part of a group of 4 people to visit different areas of Golestan province. After visiting several areas, we went to the tomb of Khalid Nabi at the suggestion of a colleague. Our CEO welcomed the offer.
Khalid Nabi is the last preacher of the Christian religion who was born 84 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad. The main photo of the tomb of Shepherd Ata shows one of Khalid Nabi's family and friends. I share a view of Khalid Nabi's tomb in the workshop

Tomb of the shepherd Ata
A little further from the shrine of Khalid Nabi and on top of the dominant fort of Hazara in the North Valley, there is the tomb of Chupan Ata. This tomb is a simple building, roofed with a quadrangular plan; On each side there is a window with a crescent arch. The north window has become an entrance. The dome of the tomb is made of metal and has a pointed hexagonal shape in the center of the roof; Which has a belt. The exterior of the building is simple and cemented, and the interior of the tomb is simple, without decoration and inscriptions. Inside the tomb is a simple tomb without a tombstone.

Khalid Nabi Cemetery and Shrine is located 90 km northeast of Gonbad Kavous city and 55 km northeast of Kalaleh city and 6 km from Gachi Soo village - near I Tamar of Maraveh Tappeh section and on the top of Gogjeh Dagh mountain. The peak of Gogjeh Dagh Mountain, which is also known among the people as the peak of "Ghodrat" or Goj (Goj) in Turkish, is about 700 meters above sea level. The Gogjeh Dagh mountain range is connected to the Baba Shamlak mountains from the east and to the surrounding thousands of valleys from the north, west and south.
The communication route to the shrine of Khalid Nabi is mountainous, but it is not difficult to reach that place through the stigma and contemplation of Qozi. Due to the distance of the road and the lack of vehicles and the lack of amenities on site, as well as the extreme heat of summer and cold of winter, the best time to visit it is April and May.

Near and below the tomb of Khalid Nabi, there are the tombs of Alam Baba and Chupan Atta and a valley called Panj Shir, as well as the spring of Khezr Dandan. According to popular tradition, Alam Baba was the father of Khalid Nabi's wife and Atta's shepherd, the shepherd of Khalid Nabi or one of his unknown guardians or one of his companions, all of whom are respected by the Turkmen.

In the eastern part of the tomb of the shepherd Atta and attached to it and on a series of earthen hills that are much lower than the height of the shrine of Khalid Nabi, there is a huge cemetery with about 600 cylindrical tombstones up to a maximum height of 2 meters. It becomes. Wikipedia
