13 IR - Tchogha Zanbil (1979)

 The ruins of the holy city of the Kingdom of Elam, surrounded by three huge concentric walls, are found at Tchogha Zanbil. Founded c. 1250 B.C., the city remained unfinished after it was invaded by Ashurbanipal, as shown by the thousands of unused bricks left at the site.

恰高•占比尔

在恰高•占比尔三堵巨大的同心墙内,我们可以找到埃兰(Elam)王国圣城的遗址。该城始建于公元前1250年,摆在遗址处的几千块还没用过的砖说明,在遭到阿舒尔巴尼帕尔的侵略后,恰高•占比尔始终没有建成。
