Khalid Nabi Cemetery, Archaeological cemetery near Gonbad-e Kavus, Iran
The Khalid Nabi Cemetery contains hundreds of stone monuments scattered across hillsides at an elevation of 700 meters above sea level.
Dating back to the Paleolithic period, this burial ground features stone markers that have endured over several thousand years in northeastern Iran.
Local Turkmen communities maintain traditions connected to the site, attributing healing properties to a nearby spring and tying cloth strips to trees.
The cemetery stands 90 kilometers from Gonbad-e Kavus city, requiring careful navigation through mountainous terrain with steep inclines and sharp turns.
The burial ground displays cylindrical and cross-shaped stone markers, with some reaching heights of four meters across the landscape.
