The discovery and decipherment of the trilingual cuneiform inscriptions

Arthur John Booth

Synopsis

The decipherment of the cuneiform inscriptions of Western Asia is worthy of being included among the great achievements of the nineteenth century. Only a hundred years ago it was still possible to maintain that there was no such thing as cuneiform writing, and that the mysterious figures that went by that name were merely a grotesque form of ornamentation. We propose to recount the method pursued by the long succession of scholars who in the end succeeded in solving the perplexing problem that was presented to them. Few, if any, of those who, in the beginning of last century, occupied themselves with the subject, could have imagined the brilliant discoveries that would result from their tedious labours. In these pages we shall be chiefly occupied with the inscriptions of the Achaemenian kings.

History of Bulgaria - Its...

Kelly Mass

The history of Bulgaria is rich and complex, tracing its roots from the earliest settlements in the region to its emergence as a modern nation-state. The story of the Bulgarian people is intertwined with their origins, showcasing a diverse tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions that have evolved over millennia.
Early Settlements and Civilization
Bulgaria's history dates back to around 5000 BC, when sophisticated societies flourished in the region. Archaeological discoveries indicate that these early inhabitants produced some of the world's first pottery, jewelry, and gold artifacts, demonstrating advanced craftsmanship and artistic expression. These early civilizations laid the groundwork for the rich cultural heritage that would follow.
Around 3000 BC, the Thracians, an ancient group known for their warrior culture and vibrant traditions, migrated to the Balkan Peninsula. The Thracians were renowned for their contributions to art and culture, as well as their complex social structures. By the late 6th century BC, parts of what is now Bulgaria, particularly in the eastern regions, came under the control of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, illustrating the geopolitical significance of the area at that time.
The Thracian Kingdom and Cultural Interactions
In the 470s BC, the Thracians established the formidable Odrysian Kingdom, which became a significant power in the Balkans. This kingdom lasted until 46 BC when it was ultimately conquered by the expanding Roman Empire. Throughout their history, various Thracian tribes experienced domination by neighboring civilizations, including the Ancient Macedonians, Hellenistic cultures, and Celts.
