Elamite rock relief in Naqsh-e Rostam

Ernst Herzfeld and Heidemarie Koch have suggested that the date of the relief is 4,000 years ago.

However Alireza Shapour Shahbazi and Isa Behnam have suggested 1,200 BC as the date of this Elamite relief.

He has put his hands on his chest as a sign of respect to the god that once had existed in front of him, but now is completely destructed.

It is believed that these man and woman are king and queen respectively and are worshiping the god and goddess.

Small sections of God and Goddess figures are still visible, but can't be recognized duo to the destruction.
