Since ancient Hegmataneh was the Achaemenid summer capital and located along the Imperial Route, Darius the first after engraving the Bistun Inscription ordered to encrave another inscriptions in Ganjnameh. Then his son Xerxes engraved another one on the right side and a little lower than his falher's inscription (about 500 BC).

The first left column in Old Persian, the middle one in Elamite or Susian and on the right side in Babylon or Akkadian and all were written in cuneiform alphabet. The first word of the column is "bagn" that means God. In contemporary history many Orientalists intended to decode the inscriptions such as Ozen Flanden, French archeologist and

Pascal Cast his assistant (1840- I 841 AD). At last Sir Henry Rovilnson - an English scientist, deciphered it and the people belief that these inscriptions are hidden treasures written codes was interpreted. The following is the Darius inscriptio1ltranslation in English:
" A great god is Ahuramazda, who created this earth, who created yonder sky, who created man, who created happiness for man, who made Darius king, one king of many, one lord of many.
I am Darius the Great King, King of Kings, King of countries containing all kinds of men, King in this great earth far and wide, son of Hystaspes, an Achamenian."
