The first inscription of Darius in the tomb

” Great is Ahuramazda, who created this earth, who created that heaven, who created happiness for the people, who made Darius king, a king of many, a ruler of many.

I, Darius the Great, emperor, king of countries of all kinds, people in this great and vast land, son of Goshtasp, Achaemenid, Parsipour Persian, Aryan(ایرانی), Aryan.

Says Darius Shah: According to Ahuramazda, the countries that I commanded except Persia to ransom me, did what I was told, it is my command to keep them: Mad, Khoj(Country of Ilam), پارثوا(پهلویان), هريوا(Heart), Balkh, Sughd, Khorazm, Zarang, Rakhj, Seth Gosh(ستگدیا), Gondar, India, Sokas of Hom Noush, Sikas of Sharkhod, Babylon, Assyria, Saudi Arabia, Mudraya(Egypt), Armenia, Cappadocia, Sard, Ionia, Scythians overseas(The river could)، اسکودرا( Thrace and Macedonia), Single Greeks( They wear wide-brimmed hats), Libya, Abyssinia, Maca, Kari.

Says Darius Shah: Ahuramazda, because he saw this land as turbulent, so he gave it to me cheaply, he made me king, I am king, at the request of Ahuramazda; I left this land; They did what I said because it was my palate. If you think about the number of countries that Darius Shah ruled, then look at the drawings that Aurang is carrying on my shoulders, then you will know that the spear of the Persian man went far away and fought far away from Persia..

Says Darius Shah: What happened, I did everything at the request of Ahuramazda, Ahuramazda, take me and Shahria Shahri and keep this country away from harm. This is what I want from Ahura Mazda, Ahura Mazda give me this. Ahuramazda's command should not be bad for you, do not leave the right path, do not be harsh.”

The second writing of Darius the Great

” Great is Ahuramazda, who created this wonderful world of creation, who created happiness for the people, who gave wisdom and ability to Darius Shah.. By the will of Ahuramazda, I am the one who loves the truth and hates lies, I do not want the able to oppress the weak, nor do I want the able to be harmed by the weak.. What I really like; God's will is not turmoil on earth, but peace, goodness, and good governance. I am not a friend of liars, I do not sow hatred in my heart, I take away everything that makes me angry; I have overcome my anger with the power of wisdom. Whoever cooperates and accompanies, I will reward him for his efforts. He who bites and oppresses, I give as much as he hears.

I do not want anyone to be harmed or punished. What one says to another, I do not accept it, unless, on the basis of a good command, he bears true witness and sees judgment, I rejoice and be pleased with what one does to the best of one's ability, and there is no limit to what we are pleased with. My intelligence and desire. Do not think that secret whispers in the ear are the best words, listen more to the moment you hear openly. You see the best in the able-bodied and more in what happens to the incapable. When you see or hear what has happened to me, whether in my hometown or in my homeland, know that it is my ability, which is superior and sharper than the power of imagination, that is my skill.: As much as I can, I am a good opponent in combat. Because I am in the doorway, I know the person I see from afar by the power of reason, whether he is malicious or not, by the power of reason and my will, I am always the first person who wants a good job, because I see enmity and love. I am a trained man, both hands and feet. I am a good horseman when I ride, I am a master at archery, shooting, whether I am on horseback or on foot.

In javelin throwing, I'm good at spearing, either on horseback or on the ground. Such were the arts that Ahuramazda gave me and that I was able to apply. With the help of God, I have done what I can with all my arts, which have been cheap for Ahuramazda.. Nick, find out how I am and what my arts are and how and to what extent I am superior. Do not let what you have heard about this wrong you, believe what you are told, do not think my deeds are wrong, keep my writings, do not trample on the command, do not let anyone remain ignorant in carrying out the command”

In the view of the tomb of Darius the Great, “Gubarwa Pati Shurai, Niza Dar Dariush Shah” and also “Spakan, Dariush Shah's ax-wielding bow” Are represented. These two were one of Darius's greatest companions. Gubarova was one of the six people who collaborated with Darius in killing Goumat

Spacan is somewhat unknown, Herodotus mistakenly called him one of the six, and this suggests that he held a high position in Darius's court..

Naqsh Rostam's chronology

Opposite Darius's tomb is a magnificent quadrangular building that must have been built in the time of Darius the Great.. This building, like its counterpart in Pasargadae, is made of a combination of black and white stones.. The use of this building has always been disputed by chronologists, some have considered it as a place to keep some books, but the type of construction and structure of this building makes it clear that it was for another use and it is a calendar.. To find out the reasons and how to use this guide and other things about it, read the book “Naghsh-e-Rostam Solar Observatory” See Mr. Reza Moradi Ghiasabadi. According to the researcher, this calendar is the most accurate solar calendar in all of human history, and it shows the intelligence and genius of Persian and Iranian scientists..
