IRAN TCHOGA ZANBIL
Choga Zanbil, an Elamite ziggurat in Khuzistan Province, standing among low hills on the right bank of the river Ab-e Diz, a tributary of the Karun. Built by Untash Gal, King of Elam, about 1250 BC, the massive artificial mountain was the focal point of his city Dur Untashi. Although much denuded, the ziggurat remains the largest man-made structure in Iran and compares, in preservation, favorably with comparable monuments in Mesopotamia. Both a temple and a tomb. A World Heritage site. Iran. (KEYSTONE/Georg Gerster)
