Lonely Planet review for Tappeh-ye Seyalk
One of the oldest and richest archaeological sites in central Iran, the Tappeh-ye Seyalk has given up a plethora of interesting pottery pieces, metal tools and domestic implements made from stone, clay and bone. They date from as early as the 4th millennium BC. More significant, perhaps, is the structure itself – what is emerging from the dust is clearly a ziggurat (stepped pyramidal temple), and some Iranians are claiming this predates those of the Mesopotamians.
