Zayandeh River Civilization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zayandeh River Civilization (تمدن زاینده رود) is a hypothetical pre-historic culture that is supposed to have flourished around the Zayandeh River in Iran in the 5th millennium BC.[1] During the 2006 excavations, the Iranian archaeologists uncovered some artifacts that they linked to those from Sialk and Marvdasht.[2] They suggested that the Gaw-Khuni swamp in the Isfahan Province may contain an ancient buried city near Varzaneh village.[citation needed] A dam recently built along the river has threatened the excavation sites with permanent submergence.
