    Today's historians believe that the script and culture of the Elamites came from the Jiroft civilization and not the Sumerians. Also, the examples of scripts found in Jiroft civilization are older than the first examples of Sumerian script

    The Elam state is part of western Iran, and geographically exact location from 5000 years ago before Persian empire. After Tazi Arabs invaded Persia/ Iran around 1400 years ago, they burned libraries and destroyed as much of remaining sites and later the so called religious scalers and mullas intentionally distorted the history before Islam in Iran but Iranian people know their roots and the facts.

      So in Welsh, Elam is spelled in two words ? (or a typo?) Of which one is "e" ? Or a grammatical feature maybe?
      I always found interesting the words containing only one letter.
      Like the very common "a", "à" and "y" in french ? ("il A pensé", "penser À", "Y penser" for example)
      (I didn't count when there is an ' next to the letter)

      The last "E." meaning "It/he/she is ("here" in that context). So "E." is a sentence. It ends with a dot and begins with an upper case (and is pronounced like "yeah")
