Abstract
A high official on the courts of the last two kings of the 26th (Saite) Dynasty and the first Persian kings Cambyses and Darius - Udjahorresnet mentioned in his autobiographical text that he journeyed to Elam, at that time an integral part of the great Persian Empire. This very unusual destination for the Egyptian nobleman, whose tomb was discovered by our archaeological mission at Abusir, inspired me to follow his traces nearly 2 500 years later.
Thus, in this article I describe my experiences from a couple of sites connected with the famous Achaemenid Dynasty: Bisutun, Ganj Nameh, Susa, Persepolis and others.
