Thanks for this post related to biblical region of Elam.
Hopefully the Muslims won’t blow it up like they did the ancient statues in Afghanistan.
Archeologisst should quit working ancient sites in Muslim countries as their discoveries may be destroyed by religious fanatics as were the magnificent Bhudda statues in Bamayan in Afghanistan.
They should wait and see if this cycle of radically conservative Islam is semi=permanent or if the Muslims will eventually embrace the modern world or return to their own dark ages.
Looking forward to future ruins and shrines to nuclear pasts.
Pre-islamic architecture gives the lie to claims of islam’s antiquity.
The Ellie May period was in the 60s, I believe. Her father, Jed, was shootin’ at some food when up from the ground came some bubblin’ crude.
