HISTORY OF PERSIA. F)I of all the Achaemenian remains. BehisWn 1 is the name of a nearly perpendicular mountain near Kir- manshdh, in Persia, which rises abruptly from the plain to the height of 1700 feet, and is, as Sir H. C. Rawlinson has remarked, singularly well adapted for the holy purposes of the early Persian tribes. It was known to the Greek...s by the name of Payio-ravov Spos, and was, of course, said to have been sacred to Zeus. Sir H. C. Rawlinson further points out that the prin- cipal description in Diodorus, extracted from Ctesias, is geographically clear, though we do not now dis- cern the sculptures, said to represent Semiramis and her hundred guards. All of importance now visible are the bas-reliefs of Darius and of the rebels he crushed, together with " nearly a thousand lines in Cuneiform characters. " That great pains were taken to ensure the per- manency of the monument, is clear from its posi- tion, at more than 300 feet above the plain, with an ascent to it so steep, that the engravers must have had a scaffold erected for them.
