Who were the Elamites? History of Ancient Elam Documentary
From the proto Elamites through the old middles and Neo Elamite periods to the dissolution of their state
Sources:
The Archaeology of Elam : By D. T. Potts
The Elamite World : edited by Javier Álvarez-Mon, Gian Pietro Basello
A History of the Ancient Near East, ca. 3000-323 BC by Marc Van De Mieroop
Notes:
The coastline shown on the map I drew is the ancient coast line. So on modern maps the archaeological site of Susa will be shown looking further from the modern coast line compared to this map above. if you look at the light blue areas at the top of the gulf that corresponds to the modern coastline.
One of the most interesting things I find about the Elam is their unusual matrilineal royal succession. It might have been beneficial having an heir who could be raised with the full attention of both parents and not a monarch too busy running the country. It interesting to theorize on the potential benefits of this system.
Epimetheus Persian gulf my brother, not THE GULF. U’re an educated person cmon
Using the ancient coastline is a sign of quality, of love of details (and details do matter a lot).
IMO if the royals were matrilineal, all society was, there's no reason to have been different. A lot of Neolithic populations through the World are or have been matrilineal, for example the Iroquois, or many African nations as well.
Did you intend the map having the Kassites from the plateau instead of the Zagros? Is there archeology supporting this?
It was actually a common thing in states along the african sahel
Brother make a video about the Arameans, they are still alive, the todays Syriacs.
England and France: We have this long-lasting frenemy thing going on.

@@chadthunderstorm8148 you do not get the joke do you?
@@ousamadearu5960 The joke is wrong, so...
Fun facts related to elamites:
1:The name of their city , Susa was Persianized as Huz in Old Persian, through common sound changes this word became Khuz and to this day the province in south western Iran that was previously inhabited be Elamites is still called Khuzestan and it is inhabited by mostly Lurs and a considerable Arab minority which again raises the question if Lurs are related to Elamites.
2: The Elamite language might have survived well until the 8th century, as a Muslim geographer (don't remember his name) mentions a language which he calls Khuzi spoken in south western modern Iran's province of Khuzestan.
3: The city of Susa still exists, known as Shush in Iran and has a population of 77000 people(according to wikipedia)
4: There is a province called Ilam(i.e. elam) in Iran although not located in the exact location of their civilization but still gets its name from them.
No matter what language was spoken in khuzistan, it would be called khuzi by outsiders.
Robustus True that, but still a possibility
West Khuzestan is almost completely Arab, most of Khuzestan was before the mountain dwelling Lors moved j to the region.
I think the Muslim scholar was talking about the Sumerian language , I think you are talking about Al-Jahiz who is a famous Muslim historian and scientist in Basra city on southern Iraq , I red an article from one of his books and he did said that an unknown language still spoken in the region that is not Aramaic nor Persian .
7afeed Al Sunnah In Khuzestan province only 30% speak Arabic of which 15% are ethnic Arab. The rest are Lurs, Qashqai, Afshar, indigenous Persians, Iranian Armenians, and half of Khuzestan’s population is Bakhtiari.

@@iaw7406 The destruction of Elam as an independent state is closer to our time than to the founding of their state.
No, they suffered tremendously like any other civilization during this time. Just because they weren’t completely annihilated like the hittites and so had a comparative “advantage” didn’t mean that it wasn’t a time of huge decline for Ashur, Susa, and Anshan.

Son of Mountain Don’t insult yourself
@@zigzag5198 yeah
The people of Elamites, Jiroft and Medes are not ancestors of modern Iranian people.they did not come with the indo-europeans migration 2900 years ago.
Fortunately the proto-elamite script has just been decyphered. I hope a large corpus of texts is found, and THAT will really change things!
@@hannibalbarca2928 obviously with any population conquering and taken over s region they marry the women, so Iranian people are somewhat connected perhaps matrilineal.
The Elamite inheritance model of your oldest sister's eldest son being your heir, was practised until less than hundred years ago in Southern India, especially kerala. This system is known as "Marumakkathayam" (Marumakan means Nephew/Son-in-law as first cousin marriages were always encouraged in those times and thus was used interchangeably) In tamil language, the word Elam means something that can be translated as an Ethnic Nation.
It is also in vouge as "Aliya Santhana" in coastal Karnataka. Aliya = Nephew, Son-in-law, Santhana = progeny, generation. All over South India, Maharastra, Gujrat the relation ship between maternal uncle and the nephew is very special, they have a important place in their lives and all the life rituals.
@@senaeco Aliya is a word in Malayalam too which means brother in law. Santhana is of Sanskrit origin which means progeny I believe
The name Elam was an Akkadian Exonym. The Elamites called their own land "Hatamti".
@@thenoobprincev2529 Absolutely, at the same time. There are cognates which are common to Dravidian languages and Semitic languages since ancient times.
As a north indian hindi speaker i think Dravidian languages are just too underrated 😬
I live in Khuzestan ,the ancient homeland of Elamites🤗
Greetings! My family is from there and I have dim memories of time spent in the region. That was 35 years ago and have not had an opportunity to go back since.

I’m from Kerala, A Dravidian state in India and historically the Kings of our land also had a maternal succession just like the Elamites. There is much history out there to still be discovered and discussed!
How did that succession system work? When was it in practice?
@@Brahmdagh You can check about the last rulers of Kerala, The Kingdom of Travancore and many previous Kingdoms like the Cheras.....The King's eldest sister's son would be the heir traditionally.
@saewha Elamites are Dravidians ancestors. Creators of indus.
@@vanisridhar5509 No, the Elamites are not the ancestors of the Dravidians. They have no historical connection with the Dravidians, just that the language they spoke is similar to the Dravidians. Stop falsifying history. It is more likely that the Elamites were closer to the Iranian peoples.
The testimonies about the history of the Dravidians are half-baked. They often have a bad habit of trying to link the history of the Dravidians to ancient civilizations. The historical basis for the idea that the Aryans and the Dravidians are the same ethnic group is too weak.😅
Damn, the Elamites were neither the heart of Mesopotamia (Sumer/Akkad/Babylon), nor fierce conquerors (Assyria), nor one of the most enduring and recognisable cultures on Earth (Egypt), yet they are as important and interesting as any of these three

@@shutruk-nahunte3309 🤦Get education cl0wns...
Sumer is far more interesting
The Elamites were always fascinating to me, especially since they're a language isolate. That always makes a people more mysterious. Great as always!
My take is that Neolithic West Asia was a complex linguistic landscape, with many language families (isolates or near isolates or related to each other in ways too obscure for us to discern) and that some of them expanded outwards: one was the proto-Vasconic, which was surely spoken in Neolithic Anatolia and spread to Europe, another was Elamo-Dravidian (it must be a thing), which expanded to India around the same time, maybe even a precursor of proto-Indoeuropean expanded northwards to the Russian steppe, etc. (more families are involved, certainly the three Caucasian ones, plus Sumerian, plus Semitic plus, proto-Pelsago-Tyrsenian, plus maybe even Nubian and who-knows-what). So that's why we find so many isolates in that region and not so much in Europe or India, where only some of those branches expanded to.
Luis Aldamiz Interesting hypothesis. If it appears to be accurate, Middle-East/West Asia as a whole would indeed really be the cradle of civilization
@@zigzag5198 - It is for sure the craddle of Neolithic for all Western Eurasia, India, North and East Africa. However East Asia, Papua and the Americas had their own independent Neolithic developments. The advent of genetics and especially archaeogenetics made us realize that whole populations migrated in all directions, that it wasn't for the greatest part just people learning from their more advanced neighbors as not so long ago was believed.
@@LuisAldamiz Elam is a pure Tamil word and really supprised to here the same spelling and pronouncian. Tamil is South Indian, one of Dravidian language and the oldest clasical, living language in the world. Tamil researchers believe Mesopotamians, Sumerians should have connection to Tamils.
@@vijayrajasekaram8113 - Tamil is only one of many Dravidian languages, including critically Brahui, which is a fossil from the very first Indian (or South Asian) Neolithic and the Indus Valley Civilization.
A single word is useless to show association or not, serious linguists use much longer standardized lists or other even more complicated and difficult methods to discern relationship between languages. But indeed Elamo-Dravidian has been argued for a very long time already and seems very plausible not just from the linguistic but also archaeological and genetic viewpoints.
As for the Sumerians they were a different nation with a different language, my personal take is that Sumerian is rather related to NE Caucasian (Chechen and such) via Hurrian but I'm not certain at all, it just seems closer than to others on primary evaluation. Sumerian surely had influence on IVC Dravidian and vice versa but horizontally, via contact and well documented trade. I understand that the word "uru" (city) made it to Dravidian, much as the related word "ili" (and variants: "iri", "uri", "uli", probably from Palestine or the Aegean) made it to the West (Basque hiri, ancient Iberian ili, anicent Aquitanian eli, Tartessian uba, Latin urbs, etc.) This is a very clear case of wanderwort (migrant word, like could be modernly "telephone" or "Internet" or "video" or "nuclear missile"). So beware of too filmsy single-word connections!
You really are spoiling us with these frequent uploads.
I believe Persian culture was heavily influenced by the elamites. The elamites probably mixed with the other Iranians and Persians as well and got assimilated fully.
John smith Persian culture got heavily influenced by the Mesopotamian one , Elamites were already eliminated and their civilization vanished by the Assyrians before Persian tribes cane to the region .
Elamits were among the most influencial Iranians who contributed to the establishment and management of the Persian empire . They basically chose an Iranian/ Persian Id.
Baluchis are the most probable inheritors of the Elamites and there is town ilam in eastern Nepal too
Dravidian
That's what humans do, you learn, adapt amd improve

@@islamislam-zw3il that is not true . Iran is still a great nation and we have many sources of guidance including our national book the Shahname and also the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him). In Iran Islam is not against our national interest unless we Make it . Zoroastrianism was far more complicated than Islam and although that is my heritage as well but I think Iranians have made Islam great too
@@islamislam-zw3il Although I am a Christian, Christianity has been around for much longer and people (i.e. Catholics, Protestants etc.) have perpetrated more evil upon the world under the guise of "Christendom" than any other religion. The yoke of colonialism, spearheaded by and in the name of "converting" indigenous peoples have turned many cultures and countries into absolute "shit-holes". Whenever and wherever these "conquistadors", "Puritans", "colonials" etc., were, they have left a legacy from that colonialism that is hard to overcome. The Latin-Americas for example and also the Europeans that are STILL occupying Canada and the "U.S.", they STILL have not gone back to wherever they came from. Talking about "Caliphates of doom" .......
@ehsan soleimani First: Sefevids were Turks, second Iran was ruled by Turks almost 1000years and flourished too.
@ehsan soleimani Dude! Wasn't the Samanid Empire predominantly a Turkic state?
Kudos on a nice summary, I especially like you used the old coastline - although probably the coastline changed during that long time as well.
I love it that you're doing videos on topics like this. There is so much scope to cover topics like this in ancient history that I am glad you are doing it!
Exactly how I love history: concise, to the point, and illustrated.
You're one of the best history channels on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
Amazing style! Love it! Great job! Keep ancient history alive! It is so interesting! And you present it very well in such short time!
What a brilliant video! Thanks for the hard work. I'm looking forward to more. Well done, please don't stop!
Thank you Epimetheus! i had requested in one of the earlier videos that you do something on the elamites as there was nothing on them and they were largely ignored! great video!
I have been hoping you would do a video on the Elamites for a long time now, and I'm so happy you finally did! This culture is so hard to find real information on. Most of what's available is meant for scholars or just conspiracy theories. Great video and very informative!
Dude... As usual your videos are among the few reasons we have to access TH-cam. What impress me the most is the accuracy of your text. You show such a respect for biblical narratives that are absolutely uncommon nowadays. As a rabbi, I recommend your channel to whoever asks me about History and I do not know the answer.

In the Dravidian language Tamil, the homeland is known as Eelam. The presence of DNA of the people of the Zagros mountain area in the population of the people of India is well established. The proto Elamite script and the IVC script are both undeciphered. They may be connected
It is also my opinion.

And if you love Mesopotamia, you will love these too, for sure. For the few fellow passionate about this kind of history I send greetings :) Thanks for the video, Epimetheus!
YEEEESSS!!! At last :) very very nice video. Elamites were a black hole, participating in all past videos and now are shown as well. Indeed, the succession is different, but tricky, what if the nephew dies? But agree that being raised by both parents have an advantage in administration and character. Now I'm interested in their language too. Esdras book include them giving a panorama about the powers if the era. Very very nice video, thanks! :)

@@LuisAldamiz search sush city in iran
@@goghnos8826 - I was asking for Ilam city as such, not Sush/Susa.
@@LuisAldamiz I could ask around but I guess it has risen in prominence during like a 10th century when Lurs (Lors) became an organised polity and were causing trouble to Iranian dynasties, prominently to Safavids. Lorestan was then separated into two provinces, Lorestan itself with the capital in Khorramabad and Pusht-e Kuh with the capital in Ilam. If you ever happen to travel there you should have a look at the vali's (governor's) palace, it's small but pretty.

great information
Wonderful short history of Elam, I am happy to learn that the Elamite kingdom was matriarchal and the oldest princess son succeeded the king, the three main God in Elam were female and women was depicted like men in Elam art. The Assyrian king Asshurbanipal was very cruel for destroying Susa, digging up their old kings and dumped salt in Elam fields. I am also happy to learn that the Persian learned government administration from the Elamites.
Because of this, the Assyrians killed these people
The same system was followed in parts of South India and Jaffna region until recent times! Inheritance was given to sister’s son not own’s son! Even Kingdom of Travancore followed similar system until 1949
Interesting that you mentioned the connection between Dravidian languages and Elamites. Until a few decades ago, people from Kerala in South India also followed the same matrilenial system of succession. Would like to know your opinion.
