Abstract:   (2503 Views)
A concise exploration of various civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia etc. reveals that the practice of writing was linked to specific deities. Based on available evidence we know that Elam stands out as a civilization with a rich history of writing; however, the specific role of writing gods in Elam has remained unexplored. This research endeavors to fill this gap by examining relevant documents from Elam and contemporary studies. The aim is to identify the gods associated with writing in Elam, analyze evidence supporting their role, explore connections with Mesopotamia and investigate the relationships between Elamites and Iranians. The findings suggest that Napiriša, Tirumithir/Tirutir, Nabu, and possibly Nisaba played crucial roles in ancient Elam's writing practices. Notably, Nabu and Nisaba exhibited Mesopotamian origins (Amorite and Sumerian Respectively), and Mesopotamian connections are also implied for Tirumithir/Tirutir. Meanwhile, Nabu and Napiriša were male, while Nisaba was female. The gender of Tirumithir/Tirutir remains unknown. Furthermore, Elamite traditions might have influenced the practices of Iranians, particularly in the case of the god Tir, evident in the similarities with Tirumithir/Tirothir's name and epithet (Dabir/Scribe). Nevertheless, the potential for Iranian influences on Elam also exists while discussing it with the existing documents is not feasible. Verification or refutation of the arguments proposed in this study, particularly concerning the link between Tir and Tirumithir/Tiruthir, awaits future data. Such data could be derived from forthcoming insights into ancient Elam's planetary nomenclature, the divine duties of gods, the origins of Indo-Europeans and Indo-Iranians, and the connections between Elamites and Iranians.
