القطعة عراقية الأصل تم العثور عليها في مدينة نيبور التاريخية في الديوانية داخل العراق ومعروضة حالياً في متحف جامعة بنسلفانيا داخل الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية وربما تكون اقدم وثيقة ميلاد عرفها العالم والتاريخ

The Behistun inscription, meaning the place of god, is a multilingual inscription and a large rocky relief on a cliff on Mount Behistun in the province of Iran, established by Darius the Great. It was crucial to the decipherment of the cuneiform script, as the inscription includes three versions of the same text, written in three different cuneiform languages: Ancient Persian, Elamite, and Babylonian.
