Behistun Rock in Iran :

Sir Henry Rawlinson made a groundbreaking achievement in In mid-19th Century CE translating the cuneiform script. The Behistun inscription, means "the place of god," it is a monumental multilingual inscription and a vast rocky relief carved into a cliff on Mount Behistun in Iran.

The inscription Commissioned by Darius the Great played a crucial role in deciphering cuneiform script, as it contains three versions of the same text written in three distinct cuneiform languages: Ancient Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian.

The Behistun inscription is to cuneiform what the Rosetta Stone is to Egyptian hieroglyphics.
