Elamites were of Indian origin and the Aryans were Indians. The answers given by my learned friend 'Knowitall' is derived from the sources which are only collected from various places with out going into th eauthenticity of the materials collected. The findings at Susa, which was the home of the Elamites has proved that the Akad language was nearer to Indian sanskrit as the words like Ishana, Napurush, Naram Sin or Narasinha, Himarabi or Hemarabi are all Indian words. The King Napurush had Naga serpant as his emblem. The Indian Sun God was worshipped as in Babylone and Egypt. there is no doubt that the early settlers in Anatolia and Egypt were from India whose culture had a direct impact on the people there. Aryan were basically Indians.

No, not according to recent scholarship. The Elamites spoke a language unrelated to the Semitic cultures to their west (Akkadian , Babylonian, Assyrian, etc.) or to the "Aryan" languages to their north (Persian, median, etc.) Elam, is one of the world's oldest civilizations, ( and possibly the inventors of the wheel ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elam
The Aryans is the name given to the Asiatic branch of the Indo-European speakers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan
Scholars theorize that these peoples left the Indo-European home land (in Southern Russia to the east of the Black Sea)
about 4,000 B.C. they moved through the Iranian Plateau (and formed the Iranian languages) and then about 2,000 B.C. the Indo or vedic - Aryan tribes moved into Northern India forming the early Vedic civilization.
So two different stocks, different languages and different cultural time lines. By the time Vedic (Indian) or Avestan (Iranian) civilizations began to develop, Elam had been conquered and disappeared.
