Archaeologists have unearthed a historical stone inscription in a Turkey ancient city, depicting scenes from the Greco-Persian Wars.
According to the Anatolian News Agency, archaeologists excavating the historic city of Daskilion in northwestern Turkey have uncovered a fifth-century BC stone inscription. The skillfully engraved evidence depicts scenes from the Greco-Persian Wars that took place about 2,500 years ago.
According to Kahn Irene, the site’s chief explorer, the inscription depicts Greek soldiers fighting Iranian soldiers on horseback.
According to the Daily Sabah, the inscription depicts battles that happened in various parts of the Mediterranean over 50 years, from 499 to 449 BC. That is when the famous Greco-Persian Wars took place. The battles between the soldiers of the Achaemenid Empire and the Union of Delos, the political and military alliance of the Greek city-states led by Athens, gathered to go to war.
Originals also wrote about the political situation of the city of Dasquillon and its surrounding areas and how you could see them in the images of this inscription. Undoubtedly Iranian artists and chroniclers engraved this evidence of the Greco-Persian Wars.
Kahn Irene, who has been exploring Daskillion with a group of 30 people since June, also said he had discovered parts of an eighth-century BC stone and brick wall that appear to have been under construction. It was about seven by eight meters high. The Phrygians built the wall, which is up to five meters long, to protect their territory.
The Greco-Persian Wars are the wars that happened between the Achaemenid Empire and the city-states of ancient Greece. These conflicts date (began) from 499 BC. AD and ended in the year 449 BC.
There is almost no remnants source of Iran from the Iran-Greece wars. From time to time, the only source of the Wars is the Greek historian Herodotus. What has been discovered in Turkey today is of great value.
