History
History of Behbahan is indispensably intertwined with the ancient Iranian city of Argan (Arrajan) from Elamite era (3200–539 BC). During a dam construction project on Marun river in 1982, an accidental find was reported shocking local archeologists. It was identified as a neo-Elamite tomb (600-550 BC) of a noble person who later turned out to be the Elamite ruler Kidin-Hutran son of Kurlush. The tomb contains a large bronze coffin which had a golden ring of power, ninety-eight golden buttons, ten cylindrical vessels, a dagger, a silver bar, and a bronze tray called Arjan bowl with various images found with the coffin.
However, Arjan saw its downfall as it was hit by a series of earthquakes destroying almost all of its infrastructure. In the cross-road of Elamite and Persian empires, as claimed by Alvarez-Mon, the city had to be rebuilt.
