Elamite tombs are ancient burial sites built by the Elamite civilization (circa 2700–539 BCE) in what is now southwestern Iran. These tombs often feature elaborate architecture, including underground chambers and decorated walls, intended to honor the deceased and reflect their social status. They provide valuable insights into Elamite religion, art, and cultural practices.
