A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – The ancient city of Susa (modern town of Shush, Khuzestan Province, Iran) remains one of the world’s oldest cities. It has been continuously inhabited since about 4200 BC (or even 5000 BC).
It is one of the oldest human settlements in the Middle East, and its first traces date back to around 7000 BC.
The exact date of the city’s foundation is unknown, but it is known that life flourished here in the fourth millennium BC. The town was a large urban, administrative, and cultural center of Elam. With thousands of years of history behind, Susa became the empire’s capital in the 2000s.
