Located in whatā€™s today southwestern and southern Iran, the ancient country that most of us today know as Elam emerged as a dynamic and influential civilization that has left an indelible mark on the tapestry of human history. From its earliest origins as a collection of city-states and principalities in the 4th millennium BC to its peak as a formidable empire, Elam's complex history is one of resilience, innovation, power politics and ultimately in many areas, tragedy.

In Part I, weā€™ll delve into the annals of Elam's early past and discover the origins of Elamite civilization, art, politics, and its growth as an important military power and commercial conduit that connected east and west.

Thank you, Cy. You're performing a great service. The more we understand about societies that preceded ours, the better able we will be to make choices for our own. I'm doing some independent research on belief systems and social stability (I have no idea if anything will ever come from it šŸ˜…), and your channel is great at expanding my scope and pointing me in new directions. Thanks once again. Great production!

The idea of proto Elamite being not Elamite makes a lot of sense to me, just thinking of the length "Elamite" existed when we have other situations in history where a group continues calling their neighbors the same thing despite the neighbors changing, like with the Greeks and the "Scythians", and it sometimes going in reverse by calling a past group what the current group is called

I've long heard of Elam and Susa, but this documentary truly pieced how it came together in a way I can see the entity forming.. At least a loose groundwork of what the the Medes and Achaemenids would spring off of. Thank you!
