Haft Tepe, Bronze Age archaeological complex in Khuzestan Province, Iran.

The archaeological site spans 1.5 kilometers by 800 meters, featuring 14 distinct mounds with the tallest reaching 17 meters in height.

French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan first surveyed the remnants of the Elamite city Kabnak in 1908, revealing structures from the 15th century BC.

The excavated funerary complex contains platforms, workshops, and underground chambers designed for the royal family of King Tepti-Ahar and religious ceremonies.

Visitors need to arrange transportation from Ahvaz to the site, located 15 kilometers southwest of Susa, and obtain necessary permits for entry.

The site revealed terracotta sarcophagi and stone inscriptions in Babylonian script detailing funeral practices of the Elamite civilization.
