Map showing the area of the Elamite Empire (in red) and the neighboring areas. The approximate Bronze Age extension of the Persian Gulf is shown.
Ashurbanipal's campaign against Susa is triumphantly recorded here. It shows the sack of Susa in 647 BC: flames rise from the city as Assyrian soldiers topple it with pickaxes and crowbars and carry off the spoils

Elam was an long-lasting ancient civilization just to the east of Mesopotamia, in what is now southwest Iran. Elam was centered in the far west and southwest of what is now modern-day Iran, stretching from the lowlands of what is now Khuzestan and Ilam Province as well as a small part of southern Iraq..[1]
