| | Ancient Iran, or Persia as it was referred to in the West until 1935, is one of the great ancient civilisations, ranking alongside Mesopotamia (Iraq), Anatolia, the Levant and Egypt. | | | For many years Susa was regarded as the capital of Elam, but it is now clear that it was only one of several major centres, others being Anshan and Choga Mish; at the latter site there is an important sequence of prehistoric and later levels. | | | Because of its geographical position, being an extension of the alluvial plains of Mesopotamia, lowland Susa was sometimes brought within the cultural orbit of Mesopotamia, but in the highland areas Elamite traditions and culture were more carefully guarded. |
