Alvand , Alwand or Alvand Kuh (Template:PerB) is a mountain chain in western Iran. This mountain chain is located near Hamedan, with a summit of 3570 m, and consists mainly of intrusive rocks (granite, granitoid and diorite). The range bears a trilingual ancient inscription (Neo Elamite, Neo Babylonian and Old Persian) of King Darius the great and king Xerxes I, called Ganj Nameh, 10km south of Hamadan.
