Construction of Chogha Zanbil was abandoned after death of Untash-Napirisha, however the complex was still occupied. Chogha Zanbil is currently 25 m high (its original height is estimated for 50 m). The excavations were started in 1951 and revealed large number of clay tablets and both human and animal statuettes.
