Cuneiform script from the second millennium BCE is inscribed into the brick at the Elamite ziggurat dedicated to “The Lord of Shush”at Chogha Zanbil (“Basket Mound”), 40 kilometers south of Shush. Shush and its environs contain superimposed urban settlements in a continuous succession from the fifth millennium BCE until the thirteenth century CE. It is a testimony to Iran’s Elamite, Persian, and Parthian traditions.
