It unearthed nearly 30,000 clay tablets, the imperial palace archive, in 1933. His first and brightest assistant, architect Krefter, also found Dareios's golden foundation document and started reconstructing the palatial complex. Jew Herzfeld's personal fate soon turned from fame to Nazi persecution. A modern Australian team made complementary finds at Jinjun, one of many stops of the Achaemenid ruler's mostly mobile retinue. It all proves a highly developed, largely cosmopolitan culture. Written by KGF Vissers See less
