Linear Elamite Decipherment Four Long Poems

Stuart Harris

For the first time, four lyrical poems from Elam are deciphered. Until conquered by Sargon of Akkad around 2000 BC, Elamites spoke Finnish and wrote with a script very close to Old European. Two scribes were men, two were women. Three are about death and one about marriage, that of the Silver Cup from Elam. It is a wedding present to Narunte, Goddess of Victory, on the eve of her marriage to Sargon of Akkad. While she lived, Akkad and Elam were at peace.
