The book details the exploration and interpretation of cuneiform inscriptions from the Achaemenian period, focusing particularly on their linguistic and historical significance, as well as the monumental architecture associated with them. At the start of the book, Booth provides an introduction to the significance of deciphering cuneiform writing, previously dismissed as mere ornamentation. He outlines the process and historical context of this monumental achievement in linguistics, particularly emphasizing the rediscovery of Achaemenian inscriptions in three languages. The narrative begins with the discovery of these ruins, moving on to key figures in the decipherment, where it is noted that the cuneiform texts reveal the lineage and achievements of the Achaemenian kings, providing glimpses into the cultural and religious practices of ancient Persia. The opening sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the inscriptions’ discovery and the scholarly progress that led to their understanding.
