More than two decades have passed since Geza de Francovitch wrote that Median art “is a myth,” that “not a single work exists of proven Median origin,” and, further, that its discussion involves one in “the realm of myth and fableq. The heartland of the Medes in western Iran centered around Hamadan and extended for some distance to the southwest, northeast, and east in the Alvand mountain range. The gold and silver recorded in the Babylonian Chronicle may not have been solely in the form of bullion or Assyrian booty and may have included objects crafted by Median artisans is perhaps suggested, albeit tenuously, by the later inscription of Darius at Susa (DSf). This chapter discusses that qthe goldsmiths who wrought the gold, those were Medes and Egyptiansq; the very same people are also said to be the ones who qadorned the wallsq. Keywords:Assyrian; Babylonian Chronicle; Egyptians; Medes; median art; western Iran
