Tang-e Sarvak

Tang-e Sarvak is a valley in the Zagros mountains of Khuzestan, south-western Iran, known for rock reliefs carved on large boulders in the Parthian period. The reliefs show rulers and nobles of Elymais in Parthian dress, banqueting, hunting and receiving homage, with Aramaic inscriptions, and are among the main monuments of the kingdom.
