Thebes, Egypt
The remains of Hecatompylos lie to the southwest of the city, extending from Forat, south of Damghan, to nearly west. After Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia, the nearby city of Hecatompylos ("hundred gates"), now called Šahr-e Qumis () was the population centre. This name had also been given to Thebes, Greece and Thebes, Egypt.
