It's finally time to talk about the famous Behistun Inscription, commissioned by Darius to commemorate his victories over Gaumata and the rebel kings he faced from 522 - 518 BCE. It is part propaganda, part epic, part origin story, and part religious creed, declaring Darius' position over his hard-won empire. I go through the inscription step by step and give some of the history of the site beyond Darius. • • Patreon ( / edit ) • • Behistun Text (https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Sc...) • • Our Sponsors: • Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com • • Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/history-of-pers... • Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands • Privacy Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
