A inscrição de Behistun (c. 520 a.C.): tradução do texto Persa Antigo para o Português, introdução crítica e comentários

The Behistun Inscription (c. 520 BCE), a monumental Achaemenid text carved into the Bisotun mountain in Kermanshah Province, Iran, stands as a pivotal document in historical and linguistic scholarship. Engraved in three languages—Old Persian, Elamite, and Akkadian—the inscription provides the official narrative of Darius I's ascent to power in ancient Persia, offering invaluable insights into Achaemenid history. This 2023 study presents the first direct translation from Old Persian to Portuguese, making this critical historical artifact accessible to both academic and lay audiences. Accompanying commentary addresses key debates surrounding the inscription, enhancing its scholarly utility while bridging gaps between cuneiform studies and broader historical discourse.
