Detail of trilingual relief of Darius, Bisitun, Iran. This relief is the equivalent to cuneiform of what the Rosetta Stone represents to the understanding of Egyptian hieroglyphics. Carved into a cliff above an ancient road in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, it tells the story of the reign of Darius I. The same text is repeated in three languages, Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian. Photo: Vivienne Sharp. Spectrum Colour Library, London.
