The two inscription panels of Ganjnameh, carved in stone in 20 lines on a
granite rock above a creek, measure 2 × 3 m each. Written in
Old Persian,
Neo-Babylonian and
Neo-Elamite, except for the different royal name, the contents of the two inscriptions are identical;
Ahura Mazda receives praise, and lineages and conquests are listed. According to Stuart C. Brown, in the pre-
Hellenistic period, this mountain was apparently the main "east-west pass" through Mount Alvand. During the Achaemenid period, Ecbatana functioned as summer capital due to its high elevation and pleasant weather. The site received its name from locals, who believed that the inscriptions contained the secret code to a hidden treasure. ==Gallery==
