Abstract

The massive Achaemenid inscription at mount Behistun (Bisitun), in the Iranian province of Kermanshah (Western Iran), reports the official version of Darius’ accession to power in Ancient Persia. Written in three languages and scripts (Persian, Elamite, and Akkadian), this invaluable historical document was vital to the decipherment of the cuneiform script. It also enabled the reconstruction of the Achaemenid Empire’s history, previously known to us mainly through the accounts of Greek and biblical sources. Due to the importance and uniqueness of the Behistun Inscription, one proposes the translation of the Old Persian text directly to the Portuguese language, providing wider access to the document for specialized and non-specialized audiences. Historical commentaries approaching the most important debates associated with the inscription also follow the text.
