In Antiquity, Bagastâna, which means 'place where the gods dwell', was the name of a village and a remarkable, isolated rock along the road that connected the capitals of Babylonia and Media, Babylon and Ecbatana where The Behistun inscription was carved. The famous Behistun inscription was engraved on a cliff about 100 meters off the ground. Darius tells us how the supreme gods Ahuramazda choose him to dethrone a usurper named Gaumâta, how he set out to quell several revolts, and how he defeated his foreign enemies.

The monument consists of four parts:
-
A large relief depicting king Darius, his bow carrier Intaphrenes and his lance carrier Gobryas. Darius overlooks nine representatives of conquered peoples, their necks tied. A tenth figure, badly damaged, is lying under the king's feet. Above these thirteen people is a representation of the supreme god Ahuramazda. This relief is based on older monuments, further along the road, at Sar-e Pol-e Zahab.
Underneath is a panel with a cuneiform text in Old Persian, telling the story of the king's conquests. The text consists of four columns and an appendix and has a total length of about 515 lines. Another panel is telling more or less the same story in Babylonian. A third panel with the same text in Elamite language. This translation of the Persian text has a length of 650 lines.

In the Behistun Inscription, Darius justifies his assumption of power by claiming that the crushed rebellions were orchestrated by several impostors and their co-conspirators in various cities throughout the empire, each of whom falsely proclaimed kinghood during the upheaval following Cyrus's death. Darius claims himself to be the true ruler of the Persion Empire through the "grace of Ahura Mazda."
Herodotus recorded his Histories in Greek. Based on discrepancies between Herodotus's account of Darius' rise to power as apposed to what is written in the Behistun Inscription (that are not differences in events but in names and relations) , it is plausible that he was not proficient or fluent in Old Persian, Elamite, or Babylonian; the three languages the Inscription was written in.
Behistun is a rock it was discovered by a German scholar named Grotefend in order to find out what the sumerians writing ment.

The Behistun Script
He did not impact history at all. But he is very important in the history of Art.
The use of anaphora, where a word or phrase is repeated at the beginning of multiple lines or sentences, can create emphasis, rhythm, and a sense of unity in the inscription. This repetition can help reinforce key ideas or emotions, making the inscription more memorable and impactful for readers.
