The Choqazanbil Temple is located within the top of a huge, sandy hill, in the bank of Dez river; one of the branches of Karoon river. This temple was architected by the Elami King, Antash Gal, in 1250 B.C., being totally devoted for the Eensoshinak god. The temple's building has several floors, made out of mud brick, with a brick facade, reaching about 25 meters in height.
During the excavation in a part of this hill, two bricks with Elami writings were discovered. The height of the building was originally 50 meters, with the last floor belonging to the Eensoshinak god. The most fascinating object excavated within Choqazanbil is an enameled cow statue, built with utmost talent and delicacy, with a inscription of Elami writings on its back, in several rows.
In fact, this temple, with its lure and magnificence reaches the skies, being a witness to the grandeur of the Elami empire.
