The following is a comprehensive list of kings of Persia, which includes all of the empires ruling over geographical Iran and their rulers. [edit] Early realms in Iran[edit] Elamite Kingdom, 3000–660 BCThe Elamites were a people located in Susa, in what is now Khuzestan province. Their language was neither Semitic nor Indo-European, and they were the geographic precursors of the Persian/Median empire that later appeared. Some have offered evidence for a linguistic kinship between Elamite and the modern Dravidian languages of Southern India (see "Elamo-Dravidian languages") but this is not universally accepted. The proto-Elamites lived far back as 7,500 years ago in Iran. See remains here. [edit] Avan Dynasty (precise dates unknown)

There were more Seleucid rulers of Syria and, for a time, Babylonia, after Antiochus IV, but none had any effective power in Persia). [edit] Parthian dynasty (Arsacid dynasty), 247 BC – AD 224
