Summary
[edit]DescriptionXerxes Cuneiform Van.JPG |
English: A large cuneiform inscription found on the south side of the Van Castle hill, four kilometres west of modern-day Van, in eastern Turkey. It's several metres tall and wide, 25 centuries old and the message comes from the Persian king Xerxes.
In Old Persian, Babylonian and Elamite, it says (roughly): "Ahuramazda is the great god, the greatest god who created the sky and created the land and created humans Who gave prosperity to the humans Who made Xerxes king King of many kings, being the only ruler of the totality of all lands “I am Xerxes, the great king, the king of kings, the king of the lands, king of all the languages, king of the great and large land, the son of king Darius the Achaemenian” The king Xerxes says: “the king Darius, my father, praised be Ahuramazda, made a lot of good, and this mountain, he ordered to work its cliff and he wrote nothing on it so, me, I ordered to write here. May Ahuramazda protect me, with all the gods and so my kingdom and what I have done."Türkçe: "Büyük tanrı Ahuramazda gökyüzünü, yeryüzünü ve insanları yaratan;
insanlara refah veren, krallar kralı Serhas'ı yaratıp onu bütün toprakların hükümdarı yapan en muazzam tanrıdır." "Ben Serhas, muhteşem kral, krallar kralı, toprakların kralı, tüm dillerin kralı, büyük ve geniş diyarların kralı, kral Darius Ahameniş'in oğlu" Kral Serhas diyor: "babam kral Darius bir çok şey yaparak Ahuramazda'ya şükürlerini sundu, bu dağdaki kayalıklarda çalışılmasını emretti ve kayalara hiçbir şey yazmadı. ve böylelikle buraya yazılmasını emrettim. Ahuramazda beni, krallığımı ve tüm yaptıklarımı bütün tanrılarla beraber korusun." |
