📌Tchogha Zanbil, Khamat, Khuzestan Province

Tchogha Zanbil is the location of the sacred city of the Kingdom of Elam's remains, which are encircled by three enormous concentric walls. The city, constructed around 1250 B.C., was left incomplete after Ashurbanipal attacked it, as evidenced by the thousands of useless bricks left behind.

The Tchogha Zanbil Ziggurat, the first religious structure in Iran, had a total height of five stories and 52 meters, of which only two and a half levels survived. The priest and the royal family were the only users of the fifth floor, which was the highest floor and home to the Susa unique Gods.

This edifice was a gift to two Elamite Gods and was made of burned brick and mud brick. On the temple walls, we can see several bricks with the same inscriptions, carved in cuneiform characters, on which we can read the monarch's name and motivation for building the temple.
