The discovery and decipherment of the trilingual cuneiform inscriptions
Arthur John Booth
The trilingual inscriptions of the Achaemenian Kings of Persia that
have led to the decipherment of the whole cuneiform literature were
found chiefly at Persepolis and Behistun; though a single line at
Murgab and a short inscription at Hamadan, the ancient Ecbatana,
also contributed to an important extent. Other inscriptions were
observed at Van in Armenia; at Naksh-i-Rustam, a few miles from
Persepolis; upon the site of the ancient Susa, and so far afield as
Egypt. They are all monumental: chiselled upon the walls of buildings
to record the name of the king who erected the edifice. They are
written in three different methods of cuneiform writing, and reproduce
the same text in three different languages.
