8. Saber Amiri Parian: Re-reading the Elamite version of Behistun

Saber talks about his work recovering the text of the Elamite version of the trilingual inscription at Behistun. This is cuneiform’s equivalent of the Rosetta Stone. It was created at the end of the 6th century BC for Darius the Great of Persia. It has long been famous, but there is still more to learn about it.  3:39 introducing Behistun6:13 the 3 languages9:23 Behistun or Bisitun?10:34 knowledge of Behistun13:21 why new work is needed16:16 Saber’s work20:09 future plans23:43 Behistun and Elamite in Iran  You can find Saber here:Academia: https://independent.academia.edu/SaberAmiriParian Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/saaber.pariyaan Twitter: https://twitter.com/Saber_Parian   Music by Ruba Hillawi  Website: http://wedgepod.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/WedgePod Email: [email protected] Twitter: @wedge_pod  Patreon: http://Patreon.com/WedgePod
