Choga Zanbil (English spelling)
Located in southwestern Iran, 40 km southeast of Susa, the ruins of an Elamite city are centered around the largest ziggurat in Western Asia. Dur-Untash was built by Elamite king Untash-Gal in the mid-13th century BCE. R. Ghilshman carried out full-scale excavations in 1951-62. The ziggurat had a side length of 105 m, with its four corners facing in all four directions. If it can be restored from its current height of 28 m to five stories and a height of 52.6 m, it is said that the ziggurat would have been constructed with 200 Elamite cubits on each side of its base and 100 Elamite cubits in height.
