Choga Zanbil Cunieforn Bricks

The Elamite ruler who built the Ziggurat at Chogha Zanbil had many of the bricks inscribed with a dedication to himself and the gods worshipped in this holy precinct. The writing is in the Elamite language, but the script is cunieform which was first developed further west in present-day Iraq.
