Shoosh - Iran, Khøzestån The city remained important until the thirteenth century CE. After some first soundings in 1854, systematic excavation started in 1884. In order to protect themselves, the French archaeologists, led by Jacques de Morgan, built a castle in Crusader style. Research has continues into the twentieth century. Unfortunately, even the ruins were not left alone: they were partly destroyed during the First Gulf War.
