Ancient Persian cuneiform is born from Elamite and Babylonian cuneiform.
At first glance, this line is no different from other cuneiform lines, but at a glance, we realize that this line has its own characteristics, and especially in terms of the simplicity of signs and their limited number, it is completely different from other cuneiform lines. Ancient Persian cuneiform, 36 Letter or sign and 8 Hazwarash(Ideogram or logogram) and is written from left to right. The feature of this line compared to other cuneiform lines is that…
1-No sign of less than two nails(Except for the space sign and the number sign 1)And more than five nails(Except for the earth's gods and Ahura Mazda)does not have.
2-No sign has more than four horizontal pegs(Except for Ahura Mazda)
3-It has no sign more than three vertical pegs.
4-In no sign are there more than two angle elements that are made of two nails.(Except for the earth's gods and Ahura Mazda)
5-Except in the badge “وی” Two nails never cut each other perpendicularly.
The oldest inscriptions found in this line are one of the golden tablets of Aryameneh and Arsham and the stone inscriptions attributed to Cyrus the Great in Pasargad. The text of the golden tablet of Ariyameneh is as follows:Ariamne the great king, the king of kings, the king of Pars, the son of Chish Pish Shah, the grandson of Achaemenid. This country that I have, has good horses and good men, the great God Ahura Mazda gave me. At the request of Ahura Mazda, I am the king of this country. Ahura Mazda Vera support.
Arsham son of Ariamne's golden tablet has the same text as Ariamne's tablet with a very small difference, and the writing attributed to Cyrus the Great is made of only four words. I Cyrus, Achaemenid king..
If there was an ancient Persian cuneiform script at the time of Cyrus the Great, more than Ariamne and Arsham, he could have called himself the king of kings, but in all the inscriptions attributed to him, only these four words have been found. This phrase is not a lie, but compared to Loh Aryameneh and Arsham, in connection with Cyrus the Great, the copyright has not been paid.
Hazvarashes were built after Dariush's stone inscription in Bistoon. The word "Shah" is repeated more than a hundred times in Bistoon, and if it were written as Hazvarash, there would be 600 less ancient Persian cuneiform signs in Bistoon. Also, among the Hazvarashes, Shah's Hazvarash is the only one in the stone inscription. Hi (Except twenty)Darius came, and it is clear that other hazvarashes were made after Dariush. Therefore, the skirt and sleeves of Cyrus's clothes could not have an inscription in ancient Persian cuneiform script and the use of hazvarash king during his time. Also, Darius the Great in The 70th stanza of the Elamite text in Bistun considers itself the creator of the Aryan script.
This is the translation of the 70th paragraph of the Elamite text. Dariush Shah says:with help Mazda I made a script of another type, that is, in Aryan. The one that did not exist before, both on clay tablets and on feather Gament. I also signed and sealed. This script was written and read to me. Then I sent this script to All countries. People learned this line.
All these reasons prove that there was no ancient Persian cuneiform script before Darius the Great and this script was invented at once by the order of Darius the Great in order to respond to the multi-national empire of Iran..
