 | | The river Karun or, to use its ancient name, Pasitigris, rises in the Zagros mountains and passes through Khuzestan (ancient Elam) until it joins the Shatt al-Arab (or Arvand Rud) near modern Khoramshahr. |
 | | In fact, it is not exaggerated to state that the alluvial plain of Khuzestan consists solely of sediments of the rivers Karun, Dez, and Karkheh. |
 | | This is the head of a larger-than-life bronze statue of a Parthian prince, perhaps the nobleman known as the Sûrên, and was found at Shami, on the banks of the Karun. |
