The Gold Plate of Darius it’s a finely crafted stone box with a flat lid discovered in 1933 under the Apadama (the imperial palace courtyard) at the Persian capital of Persepolis. The Plate is from the period of the Persian Empire (in today´s Iran) between the years 518 to 515 B.C.
Inside the box were two plates, one made of gold and the other of silver with a dimension of 13 inch square. The plates were written in three different languages (Old Persian, Elamite and Babylonian) in cuneiform characters and were duplicates. The plate proclaimed Darius I majesty over the vast extent of his Persian Empire and it is believed by scholars to be a duplicate of another text found at the original capital of the Persian Achaemenid dynasty, the city of Pasargadae; that text is often called the "Foundation Record" of Darius the Great.
