88 Cuneiform Inscriptions Found at the Base of the Chogha Zanbil Ziggurat

Workers restoring the ziggurat at Chogha Zanbil in Iran found 88 cuneiform inscriptions. The inscriptions were found near the base of the ziggurat. The Tehran Times article says nothing of their content, only that they are mostly fragmented. Chogha Zanbil was an important Elamite center and the ziggurat there was built somewhere around 1250 BCE.
