In Part I of the Enigma of Ancient Elam, we learned about how the Elamites burst onto the ancient Near Eastern scene to become one of the greatest powers of western Asia during the early Bronze Age. In Part II, we’ll witness a new golden Age of Elamite civilization – the so-called Middle Elamite Period – followed by the Neo-Elamite period and Elam's entanglements with Babylonia and Assyria. We'll also see what the fall of Elam in the 6th century BC and what happened to the country and its people afterward. If you ever wanted to learn about ancient Elam, you'll want to watch this video.
