The architecture is unique and a sign of the accuracy and knowledge of the builders of that time and it is a symbol of Elamite art and architecture. It was initially 52 meters high and consisted of five floors but today, it is 25 meters high and only two and a half floors of it remain. This structure is the first historical monument in Iran that was registered as <a href=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/irans-unesco-world-heritage-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iran&#8217;s UNESCO World Heritage site<\/a> in 1979.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world appreciates here as a valuable monument. Orientalists consider it as the first religious building in Iran. It is the biggest ziggurat in the world. This temple had two walls. Inside the inner wall was the ritual section which had seven gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat (Temple)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wiLBKhdCH-4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen class=\"no-lazyload\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In front of the southeastern staircase are seven rows of altars, probably the number 7 being a sacred number for the Elamites. The southeast gate is closed with bitumen and the collision of the chariot can be seen on it. This gate was where the chariots passed. Six other gates lead to the ziggurat via cobblestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is paving around the building and in some of the paving, footprints of children can be seen. The four corners of this huge building are built in the direction of one of the four geographical directions, and this shows that they knew north, south, east, and west well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first floor is 105 meters by 105 meters and is one meter above the ground and its walls are three meters wide. The second floor is 8 meters high and about 16 meters wide. The rooms on the first floor are connected by arched entrances to a height of 4 meters, but the rooms on the second floor are independent of each other and each room is accessible only through its own stairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This building is made of millions of bricks and on the bricks, there are written many inscriptions in Elamite handwriting.\u00a0 In these inscriptions, the name of the king and his purpose in building this temple have been stated. The bricks are not stamped and each is handwritten separately and this is another surprising factor of this building. The Elamites used the line to decorate the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-to-iran-tour wp-block-embed-to-iran-tour\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"yGwNtKkANy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/shushtar-city\/\">Shushtar | Top Attractions and Ancient Marvels<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe  sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Shushtar | Top Attractions and Ancient Marvels&#8221; &#8212; To Iran Tour\" src=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/shushtar-city\/embed\/#?secret=cWif5zP62T#?secret=yGwNtKkANy\" data-secret=\"yGwNtKkANy\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content no-lazyload\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are waterways along the entire length of the building, perhaps due to the protection of the building from the torrential rains of Khuzestan. In the northwestern part of this great temple, there are three temples with the names of Ishmkarb, Oban, and Elahe Kirirsha, each of which has a courtyard, a shrine, a barn, and a room. The construction of these temples is also handwritten with bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three columns have been found here, which seem to indicate the hours of the day, the days of the month, and the seasons of the year. It is said that the sundial is the first sundial in the world made by the Elamites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The big difference between this temple and other ziggurats discovered since then is based on each floor. In this way, the floors of the Mesopotamian ziggurats are built on top of each other, but the floors of Susa temple are separate from below and have their unique construction. \u00a0The fifth floor was the place where the idols were placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"water-supply-system-in-the-ziggurat-of-chogha-zanbil\">Water Supply System in the Ziggurat of Chogha Zanbil<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Water-Supply-System-in-the-Ziggurat.jpg\" alt=\"ToIranTour - Water Supply System in the Ziggurat\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Water-Supply-System-in-the-Ziggurat.jpg 640w, https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Water-Supply-System-in-the-Ziggurat-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-27576 no-lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=User:Itssammoqadam&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Itssammoqadam<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:CHOGHAZANBIL_(10_of_15).jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wikimedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of the wonders of this temple is the water supply to Choghazanbil.

Using the laws attributed to Pythagoras, they purified water and separated the mud. This is one of the oldest water treatment plants in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"untash-memorial-lithograph\">Untash Memorial Lithograph<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Memorial-Lithograph.jpg\" alt=\"ToIranTour - Memorial Lithograph\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Memorial-Lithograph.jpg 640w, https:\/\/toirantour.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ToIranTour-Memorial-Lithograph-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" class=\"wp-image-27578 no-lazyload\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=User:Mohamadtaslimi&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Mohamadtaslimi\n\n<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:20%D9%85%D8%B9%D8%A8%D8%AF_%DA%86%D8%BA%D8%A7%D8%B2%D9%86%D8%A8%DB%8C%D9%84_%D9%81%D8%B1%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%AF%DB%8C%D9%86_1395_%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF_%D8%AA%D8%B3%D9%84%DB%8C%D9%85%DB%8C-_mar_2016.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wikimedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of the antiquities of the Elamite period is the lithograph of the monument of Untash Napirisha.
