SUSIANA CIVILIZATION
6000 B.C.E. Ú SUSIANA CIVILIZATION
The ancient “Shoosh Civilization ” or in English Susiana Civilization were among the first civilizations to emerge over 8000 years ago in today’s Khoozestan (southwestern Iran ). So far this has been reported as one of the oldest civilization in recorded history. By civilization, we mean civilized city government, city-state or Kingdom and an advanced state of development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of writing, and complex political and social institutions. Susians was one of the local Iranian races, before the coming of Aryans into Persia . They were a non-Semitic Hamitic people (one of the main divisions of the Caucasic family) who had migrated to the Persian plateau in prehistoric times. The location of Susa and its closeness to Mesopotamia was the main reason why these civilizations influenced each other in terms of art and monuments despite their racial differences.
Archeologists were digging in Shoosh since 1897 by “Jan Morgan ” the French Archeologist, all the way until the present day. Dr. Scheil was also another valuable archeologist who dedicated a lot to uncovering the secrets of Susiana based on Geological Layers which the fossils and other material have been found in them. Today we know that these civilizations are much older than previously thought due to archeological discoveries. (Settlements at Susa date to 7000 B.C.E.)
