The Duravantash Ziggurat (Assyrian: Dūr Untaš; Elamite: Untl Untaš dNapiriša), better known as Chughaznabil, is an ancient shrine built around 1250 BC in the Elamite civilization. This ziggurat is the central building of the ancient site left over from the Elamite Duravantash complex, which is located near Susa in Khuzestan province. Choghaznabil was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 as the first historical monument from Iran, and its unique architecture, along with ziggurats discovered in the middle of the river, is known to archaeologists and those interested in world history and cultural heritage. Choghaznabil was the only example of this type of building found in Iran before the discovery of the ziggurats along the Sandal and Silak hills. Orientalists consider Choghaznabil to be the oldest known religious building in Iran.
