The present paper is an attempt to discuss the impact of geopolitics on the elements of political legitimacy in ancient Iran as manifested in the Iranian ancient inscription of Bisitun. The main document used for the present research is the translation of the Bisitun inscription in the city of Hamedan (ancient Hegmataneh), western Iran, which was carved in 517 BC on the rocks of the mountains of Hegmataneh, the seat of power of the Achaemenids. The translation of the inscription has been analyzed through descriptiveanalytical method to find out the element of political legitimacy in ancient Iran and then to analyze the impact of geopolitics on these elements.

This study aims at surveying and describing the process of domestication of proper names in Bisotun inscription. Domestication is among the translation strategies that the theorists like Venuti invented it to describe the common translation techniques in the context of British-American culture. Based on this approach, a translator takes a transparent and fluent style to minimize the foreign trace of the text for target language readers. In this research, domestication means examining phonological and to some extent morphological (inflectional) aspects of proper names in Elamite, Akkadian, Greek and new Persian. Proper names of Bisotun inscription as the main data were undergone domestication processes and they were examined in each of the above-mentioned languages. The results showed that each language has its specific phonological system and they differ from one another. Some languages may lack certain phonemes. Thus, they would be replaced by the most similar phonemes.

1- Introduction: The engraved remains on stony parapets of cultural heritage of this country show rich civilization of Iran that protection and reparation of them is a duty of scientific teams with cooperation of related specialist. Geomorphology, geology and geophysics are including of this science.Bistoon inscription is located on long wall (famous broken part) of broken zagros on rough part which is called same name. Broken part, fissure, and thick lime of previous region (Paleoclime) pave way for destruction of engrave figure, which leads to solving process and to make solving holes. This study has been done with the following tools: GPS, topography maps and satellite images.

By studying the concept of lie in the Gathas, Avesta and the Bistun inscription, the present article considers the evolution of this concept in ancient Persia, the Achaemenian period, and its relation with political structures of that period. The present article tries to show that in ancient Persian civilization, the concept of lie is not only the central topic of ethics but it also plays a role in political arena.

The most important topological document of the Achaemenid period is the Bistun inscription, which has not been put to careful study, can help in the comparison of Bistun toponyms with that of present Iran. This article has pursued some argumental points between Darius and vehyazdat on the Bistun inscription, comparing them linguistically and historically in the Lurestan province, moving onto a map route beginning with the land Yautia. Later we arrive at Raxa city in which the fight has temporarily come to an end; according to the Bistun inscription. Vehyazdat begun to assemble the forces, after escaping, the fight befell in Paishiuvada. Based on this historical occurrence, we have concluded that some toponyms in the Bistun inscription bear references to that of scientific views, phonetic evolutions and provincial geography.

Following the formation of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great and its extension by Darius I, from Indus River in India to Nile in Egypt, Persian kings felt that there is a need to use an international language to be understandable by all nations of this great empire. This need was greater when they sent orders and messages to these different nations. When Darius I defeated his enemies and suppressed the revolts; ordered for the Bistun inscription to be written in three languages; Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian. Since few provinces in South western Iran and Mesopotamia were familiar with these languages, he ordered for the translation of this document to Aramic language which was understood by a large number of people in the Persian Empire. He also continued to do so for his royal orders and other documents. The writer of this article has studied the history of Aramic language and its extension before the formation of the Persian Empire, based on the documents found from this period. He has also searched for this language as an official language of that period based on the same documents.

According to the Behistun inscription report, when Darius the Great came to power, revolted different Satrapies of the Persian kingdom. Armenian satrapy revolt was one of such rebellions. Despite Researches have been conducted extensively on the history of the Achaemenid dynasty, they have another basic issues in relation to the revolt of the Armenian Satrapy which has been little studied. This article is based on historical research, relying on Behistun inscription report, intended to study affecting factors in the rise and suppression of the Armenian satrapy revolt. This research also peruse the relationship between the Armenian Satrapy uprising and another territories in the same time. The results of such historical research will be very helpful to understand and explain different aspects of nature of the Armenian satrapy rebelion.

About eighty inscriptions have been discovered from Achaemenian dynasty up to the present time. Since these inscriptions have been kept from corrections and editions they are considered as the very valuable documents for the study of Iranian history. In spite of many comprehensive studies on these inscriptions, less attention has been drawn upon the writing style of Old Persian inscriptions. It seems that special models were used by the scribes in writing these inscriptions. The aim of this article is to review the stylistic aspects in these inscriptions.
