Marlik, Archaeological site in Gilan Province, Iran
The archaeological excavations at Marlik revealed fifty-three ancient tombs containing valuable artifacts, ranging from small pits to large stone slab constructions.
The royal cemetery at Marlik dates back 3,000 years and contains numerous gold objects that demonstrate the advanced metalworking capabilities of ancient Iranian civilizations.
The artifacts found in Marlik suggest that its inhabitants migrated from Central Asia between the early to mid-2nd millennium BCE and spoke an Iranian language.
The site sits on a mound near Roudbar, surrounded by olive groves and fruit gardens, with multiple access routes available for visitors and researchers.
The Marlik Cup, an 18-centimeter-tall pure gold vessel discovered at the site, features detailed designs that exemplify the sophisticated craftsmanship of ancient Iran.
