EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient rock inscription at Bisutun in Iran, a site of immense historical and archaeological significance. Carved in Old Persian, Babylonian, and Elamite cuneiform, this trilingual inscription overlooks the main route from Babylon to Hamadan. The inscriptions were deciphered by Henry Rawlinson in 1846, shedding light on the rich history of this region.
The intricate carvings on the rock of Bisutun tell a story that dates back centuries, offering a glimpse into the civilizations that once thrived along this important route. The meticulous detail of the cuneiform script is a testament to the advanced writing systems developed by these ancient cultures.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when empires rose and fell along these very roads. The raw beauty of the rock face juxtaposed with the intricacy of the inscriptions serves as a reminder of our shared human history and heritage.
This photograph is not just a visual representation of archaeology; it is a window into our collective past. It invites us to ponder on the mysteries of ancient civilizations and marvel at their achievements in art, language, and culture. Truly, Bisutun stands as a symbol of resilience and endurance against the sands of time.
