hailstones writes: One of the largest structures discovered in Iran, this site was first excavated in 1979. Work resumed in 1996. The building is probably a 5,000 year old temple, although this is yet to be confirmed. The building has been constructed on a mound and covers an area of 150 hectares.
It was one of the world's largest cities at the time it was built in 3,200 BC. There were four stages and it was burnt down three times, but never rebuilt after the last burning down. Textiles of brown, beige and maroon have been found along with a 10 centimetre ruler with an accuracy of half a millimetre and an earthenware bowl that experts believe have the world's oldest animated picture drawn around it. The ethnicity and language of the city's people is unknown. Is this the first evidence of homo sapiens measuring time?
