	Ziggurat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dur-Untash, or Choqa zanbil, built in 13th century BC by Untash Napirisha, is one of the world's best preserved ziggurats.
		A ziggurat (Babylonian ziqqurrat, D-Stem of zaqāru "to build on a raised area") is a temple tower of the ancient Mesopotamian valley and Persia (Iran), having the form of a terraced pyramid of successively receding stories.
		One of the best preserved ziggurats remaining is Choqa Zanbil in western Iran, which has miraculously survived despite the devastating 8 year Iran-Iraq war of the 1980's in which many archeological sites were destroyed.

		Chogha Zanbil is an ancient Elamite complex in the Khuzestan province of Iran.
		Some scholars speculate, based on the large number of temples and sanctuaries at Choqa Zanbil, that Untash-Napirisha attempted to create a new religious center (possibly intended to replace Susa) which would unite the gods of both highland and lowland Elam at one site.
		There is no adequate watersource near Choqa Zanbil, and in order to secure a supply to the town's inhabitants, the king dug a great canal from a river many kilometres away.

	Iranian Provinces: Khuzestan
		The climate of Khuzestan is generally hot and humid, particularly in the south, while winters are much more pleasant and dry.
		Khuzestan is inhabited by a number of ethnic groups and peoples.
		Khuzestan is the most ancient Iranian province and is often referred to in Iran as the "birthplace of the nation", as this is the area where Aryan tribes first settled, assimilating the native Elamite population, and thus laying the foundation for the future Persian Empires of Median, Achaemenid, Parthian and Sassanid.
