Synopsis
Excerpt from Ancient Persian Lexicon: And the Texts of the Achaemedian Inscriptions Transliterated and Translated With Special Reference to Their Recent Re-Examination
The results of their Elamite studies put forth with such assur ance by Husing, Jensen, Bork, and others, I have used perhaps with too great caution. We are forced to admit that our knowl edge of this language, notwithstanding our richly increased ma terial (seheil, T ewtes e'lamites-se'mttignes, Temtes e'lamites - anzan Mes; De'le'g. En Perse, 1900 is still very inadequate, and I feel it is hazardous to base our interpretation of the Persian on a corresponding Elamite expression which is not absolutely certain.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the world of the ancient Persian Empire, offering a detailed examination of the reign of King Darius I. Through an analysis of the Behistun Inscription, one of the most important surviving records of ancient Persia, the author unravels the complex tapestry of Dariusââ â¢s rule. The inscription, carved onto a massive cliff face, recounts Darius's rise to power, his struggles against rebellions, and his efforts to restore stability and order to his vast empire. The author delves into the language, history, and culture of ancient Persia, shedding light on the unique nature of Darius's rule. The inscription is not merely a historical record; it is also a powerful statement of Darius's ideology, his belief in Ahura Mazda, the Zoroastrian god, and his commitment to justice and order. The book also examines the political and military challenges faced by Darius, from the pretender Gaumata to the rebellion in Babylon. By meticulously examining the Behistun Inscription and drawing on other ancient sources, the author reveals a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most influential figures in ancient history. Through this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the ancient Persian Empire, its language, its culture, and the remarkable legacy of King Darius I.
