Join the greatest team of specialists as they follow in the footsteps of Elam, an unknown ancient civilization from the southwestern part of the Iranian plateau. Crack their mysterious inscriptions, hitherto undeciphered, and discover the greatest secrets of one of the first writings in history!
Today, there are less than a dozen unfolded writings in the world, which remain a challenge for modern-day Champollions. After more than fifteen years, archaeologist François Desset and his team have managed to resurrect a thousand-years-old civilization... Thanks to their research, the greatest secrets of this linear Elamite writing are now revealed. This long intellectual quest opens the way to a new reading of this civilization's relics, questioning the way in which the history of writing and its origins has been told to date.
