Susa (Shush) is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, continuously inhabited cities in the world. 1st city/state civilization was established in Susa around 8000 years ago. This makes Susa (Iran) civilization older than Egypt. Susa is a world Heritage Site(WHS)

Susa was destroyed completely several times during the course of its history, but Alexander the (not so) Great brought the worst destruction upon Susa when he attacked the Persian Empire. To top it off, the French who helped and excavated the site of the Darius the Great palace in 1890s made a deal with the Qajar government of Iran to take any stonework findings to France but leave the Silver and gold artifacts behind. That is why if you want to see Susa’s heritage, you must visit the Louvre as well.

Today, there’s not much left at the site, but the remains of Dur Untash (Chogha-Zanbil) Ziggurat (temple) still stands after 4,500 years. Chogha-Zanbil is a WHS as well
