Sir Henry Rawlinson Discovered a Shocking Truth About Ancient Mesopotamian cuneform script.

Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson was a British army officer and Orientalist who played a significant role in deciphering the Mesopotamian cuneiform script[1][3].

Rawlinson's greatest contribution to the deciphering of the cuneiform scripts was the discovery that individual signs had multiple readings depending on their context[3].

Rawlinson deciphered the Old Persian portion of the trilingual cuneiform inscription of Darius I the Great at Bīsitūn, Iran, which provided the key to the deciphering, by himself and others, of Mesopotamian cuneiform script[1].

He copied the Behistun Inscriptions in Persia in 1835 and realized that they consisted of identical texts in the three different cuneiform scripts[2]. Rawlinson's excavations in Mesopotamia contributed greatly to the final decipherment and interpretation of the cuneiform character and the discovery (or awakening if you will), to the fact that ancient Mesopotamians were black people. [3]. Unfortunately, his work is being whitewashed and erased from the history books.
