Kul Farah Historical Site

Kul-e Farah is an open-air sanctuary in a gorge approximately 7 km northeast of Izeh in Khuzestan province, Iran, containing six Elamite rock reliefs carved between the 9th and 6th centuries BC. The reliefs depict ritual ceremonies including processions, animal sacrifices, musical performances, and banqueting scenes presided over by large-scale rulers. Attributed to Hani, son of Tahi, an Elamite king, the site may have served as a temple to the Elamite god Narsina. The reliefs include cuneiform inscriptions and were first documented by H.C. Rawlinson in 1836.
