Abadan and in general Khuzestan have always been the target of so many different
kings, warmongers, and etc for thousands of years now...  Shush (55 km from
Andimeshk and about 42 km from Dezful) used to be a logistical center where
one of the oldest (possibly the first ever constructed) highways passed thru it.

For those of you who have visited Shush, you will recall all the ruins and HUGE
castle built on the top of a hill that you could easily see from 20-30 km away
from Shush... This castle is now a historical museum... Too sad part of it was
damaged during the war...  If you get a chance visit the place!  You'll always
remember the site... Guaranteed!  The first time i visited the place was when
i was only 6 and still recall all the fond memories i had...

You're making me hungry and suffer!  :)

More will be provided after guessing the above... :)
