For the first time, four lyrical poems from Elam are deciphered. Until conquered by Sargon of Akkad around 2000 BC, Elamites spoke Finnish and wrote with a script very close to Old European. Two scribes were men, two were women. Three are about death and one about marriage, that of the Silver Cup from Elam. It is a wedding present to Narunte, Goddess of Victory, on the eve of her marriage to Sargon of Akkad. While she lived, Akkad and Elam were at peace.
