Son of Hystaspes 2017
In 1837, Sir Henry Rawlinson was able to copy and decipher the Biston inscription, using documents prepared by earlier scholars, and thus read a large number of surviving inscriptions from earlier times. This inscription is the decree and description of the conquests of Darius I of the Achaemenid dynasty. Using laser scanning technology, Professor Walter Henkenman was able to scan the entire inscription and read more parts of it. The inscription of Biston in three languages of Elamite, Akkadian and ancient Persian related to 2500 years ago was carved on a rock 30 meters above the ground and it is not accessible to everyone.
