| | According to the official story, the Achaemenid or Persian empire was founded by Cyrus the Great, who became king of Persis in 559 BCE and defeated his overlord Astyages of Media in 550. | | | The Persians built a new army, but two years later, they were defeated at Gaugamela. | | | (We do not know whether the Achaemenids adhered to the teachings of the Bactrian prophet Zarathustra, although later Persian dynasties certainly were Zoroastrians.) |

| | At the same time, the Achaemenid texts were the ipsissima verba of the Great Kings whose warfare and diplomacy had profound effects on the formation of Greek historical and political consciousness, hence documents of fundamental value for Classical and Biblical historians, scholars of Old Persian, Elamite and other ancient languages of Iran, and others. | | | The inscriptions on Achaemenid monuments in Iran were the basis for the first steps in deciphering the cuneiform scripts. | | | AN*S$E (written PA+/x) (as, in Achaemenid Elamite administrative texts, NU*MUN [written NU+/MAN]; GES&*TIN [written DIN+/KAK]). |

| | This phenomenon is convincingly explained as non-elite emulation of Persian and persianizing elite drinking customs and assumes the copying in clay of a shape first introduced to Sardis in precious materials. | | | By taking several pages to describe the approach to Sardis from the east, D. declares her eastern viewpoint and places Sardis firmly within the Achaemenid empire. | | | No administrative archive has yet come to light in Sardis, but wherever possible D. takes recourse to Achaemenid Persian sources, such as the Persepolis Fortification tablets, in a sensible attempt to balance Greek and Persian stereotypes. |

| | THE IRANIAN: Achaemenid tablets, Matthew W. Stolper |
| | We had the inscriptions of the Achaemenid kings themselves, of course, written in Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian, but except for the great Bisutun inscription of Darius, they told us very little about the history of the empire. | | | Fourth, they change the frame of reference for out understanding of Achaemenid sources in other languages, from Egypt, Babylonia, or even Greece, since those texts sometimes refer indirectly to the same kinds of administrative apparatus, and use some of the same old Iranian terminology. | | | As you may have heard, University of Chicago is returning to Iran 300 ancient tablets, documents that provide details of the daily workings of Achaemenid Persia around 500 B.C. This is the first return of loaned archaeological items to Iran since the 1979 revolution [See news]. |

Dusinberre, Aspects of Empire in Achaemenid Sardis. | | | Sardis does, indeed, serve as the unifying principle, but the topics chosen offer a tightly presented view of the circumstances of life and society at Sardis set in the context of other centers of the Achaemenid Empire. |

| | Iranian Calendar |
| | The Achaemenids (Cyrus the Great himself?) wanted to use the Babylonian administrative system, for they had more experience than the Persians. | | | The prominent feature of the Iranian calendar is Nowruz, which in the Zoroastrian belief is associated with fire, the seventh creation of Ahura Mazda. | | | Abdollâhi (1996) gives several convincing arguments in support of the Babylonian influence, while he firmly refutes the opinion forwarded by several workers that the Achaemenid state calendar followed an Egyptian model. |
