The Ganjnameh inscriptions are located in a park 5 kilometres to the west of Hamadan city in Iran. The inscriptions are in three ancient languages, Old Persian, Neo-Elamite and Neo-Babylonian all using cuneiform script and carved into the granite rock face. They are statements by Darius the Great and Xerxes and date to 2600 years ago.
