Located in Iran's Khuzestan province, 30 km southeast of the city of Sousse and 80 km north of Ahvaz, Chogha Zanbil is one of the most important archaeological sites of the Elamite Empire.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this mysterious city is an important symbol of Elamite culture.

Chogha Zanbil was one of the most important religious centers of the Elamite Empire. The Ziggurat here was built as a temple for kings and gods and became an important symbol of Elamite culture.

The Ziggurat had a height of 50 meters and a base of 160 meters. It consisted of three platforms and each platform had a specific function.

The lowest platform contained a path leading to the temple. The middle platform contained the temple of the gods. The top platform contained the temple of the kings.

The Ziggurat was abandoned after the fall of the Elamite Empire around 1250 BC. However, it was discovered in 1928 by British archaeologist Leonard Woolley. Since then, the site has been extensively excavated and restored.

Besides the Ziggurat, there are various other archaeological remains at Chogha Zanbil. These include the remains of a palace, a temple complex and a city wall.

The ruins of the palace reveal the rich and complex history of the Elamite Empire. The palace was a large complex and included a temple, a court and a residential area.

The temple complex consisted of temples dedicated to various gods. These temples reflect Elamite religious beliefs. The city wall was built to protect Chogha Zanbil. The wall was 12 meters high and 10 meters thick.
