Neo-Elamite Dynasty
The Neo-Elamite Dynasty refers to a period in ancient Iranian history, roughly between 1125 and 646 BCE, when Elam, a civilization located in what is now southwest Iran, experienced a revival. Following the collapse of the earlier Elamite states, this era saw the emergence of powerful rulers who reestablished Elam's influence in the region. The Neo-Elamite period is characterized by significant cultural achievements, including advancements in art, writing, and architecture, as well as conflicts with neighboring empires like Assyria. Ultimately, it highlights the resilience and complexity of ancient Iranian civilizations before their eventual decline.
