Abstract :

Elamite civilization is considered one of the oldest human civilizations. This brilliant civilization is still not as well known as it should be and the efforts of archaeologists and historians continue to identify it as much as possible. In the meantime, the lack of written sources left over from this civilization has a great impact on this ignorance, and the discovery of any inscription or writing can be a light on the history of the civilization of Elam. During the investigations of 1971-72 in Khuzestan plain, Dezful and Haft Tepe region, an inscription was discovered on a hill called "Pomp" which contains important information and details of the history of Ilam civilization. This article will deal with the discovery of this inscription and its introduction and translation.
