Hamadan, Iran

Welcome to The Achaemenian Ganjnameh Treasure Inventory in Hamadan, Iran Audio

The Ganjnameh [or Jangnameh]

Abbas-Abad Valley
5 Kms. West of Hamadan

The Achaemenian Ganjnameh [Treasure Inventory] is a lengthy inscription in cuneiform script, composed in three parts [in old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian] and carved on the face of two rocks of some two meters in height, in the mountain Alvand. These twenty line inscriptions, belonging to Darius and Xerxes, consists of a genealogical account of the Achaemenian monarchs and the adoration of Ahuramazda. Here is the translation of the text concerning Xerxes:

"The Great God Ahuramazda, greatest of all the gods, who created the earth and the sky and the people; who made Xerxes king, and outstanding king as outstanding ruler among innumerable rulers; I [am] the great king Xerxes, king of kings, king of lands with numerous inhabitants, king of this vast kingdom with far-away territories, son of the Achaemenian monarch Darius."
