Elamite literature

Elamite literature refers to the written works produced by the ancient Elam civilization, located in what is now southwestern Iran. This literature primarily includes administrative texts, religious hymns, and historical inscriptions, often inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets. The Elamites had their own language and script, contributing to their unique cultural identity. Key themes in Elamite writings include politics, religion, and daily life, providing valuable insights into their society, beliefs, and interactions with neighboring cultures, such as Mesopotamia. Although not as well-known as other ancient literatures, it is significant for understanding early human civilizations.
