Gonur Tepe is an archaeological site of about 55 hectares in Turkmenistan that was inhabited by Indo-Iranian peoples until sometime in the 2nd millennium BCE dating back to 2500 BCE. It's located about 60 km north of Mary, Turkmenistan (the capital city of Mary Province).
The site was discovered by Greek-Russian archaeologist Viktor Sarianidi. Sarianidi discovered a palace, a fortified mud-brick enclosure, and temples with fire altars which he believes were dedicated to the Zoroastrian religion. He also found what appears to be the boiler for the ritual drink soma, which is mentioned in the Rigveda and also in the Avesta as haoma. Sarianidi says he also found dishes with traces of cannabis, poppy and ephedrine. According to Sarianidi, this discovery strengthens the theory that these were the ingredients of soma.
The northern part of the complex had a central citadel-like structure about 100 by 180 m (330 by 590 ft) in size. A southern complex is about 1.5 hectares in size. The site was most likely abandoned after the Murghab River's course moved to the west. Gonur is among the largest ruins in the Morghab's delta region; over 150 ancient settlements dating to the early Bronze Age (2500-1700 BCE) have been found there.

Turkmenistan (i/tɜːrkˈmɛnᵻstæn/ or i/tɜːrkmɛnᵻˈstɑːn/; Turkmen: Türkmenistan/Түркменистан, pronounced [tyɾkmeniˈθtan]) is a country in Central Asia, bordered by Kazakhstan to the northwest, Uzbekistan to the north and east, Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the south and southwest, and the Caspian Sea to the west.
Turkmenistan has been at the crossroads of civilizations for centuries. In medieval times, Merv was one of the great cities of the Islamic world and an important stop on the Silk Road, a caravan route used for trade with China until the mid-15th century. Annexed by the Russian Empire in 1881, Turkmenistan later figured prominently in the anti-Bolshevik movement in Central Asia. In 1924, Turkmenistan became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic (Turkmen SSR); it became independent upon the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Turkmenistan possesses the world's fourth largest reserves of natural gas resources. Most of the country is covered by the Karakum (Black Sand) Desert. Since 1993, citizens have received government-provided electricity, water and natural gas free of charge.
The Bronze Age is a time period characterized by the use of bronze, proto-writing, and other early features of urban civilization. The Bronze Age is the second principal period of the three-age Stone-Bronze-Iron system, as proposed in modern times by Christian Jürgensen Thomsen, for classifying and studying ancient societies.
An ancient civilization is defined to be in the Bronze Age either by smelting its own copper and alloying with tin, arsenic, or other metals, or by trading for bronze from production areas elsewhere. Copper-tin ores are rare, as reflected in the fact that there were no tin bronzes in western Asia before trading in bronze began in the third millennium BC. Worldwide, the Bronze Age generally followed the Neolithic period, but in some parts of the world, the Copper Age served as a transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age. Although the Iron Age generally followed the Bronze Age, in some areas, the Iron Age intruded directly on the Neolithic from outside the region.

English/Nat The break up of the Soviet Union has led to the opening up of one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological treasures. Now an international archaeological team is excavating Merv, one of the most significant capitals on the ancient Silk Route. But just as the world wakes up to its existence, Merv is in danger of being lost. Rising damp from the Karakum Canal, created by the Russians in the 1950s, is disintegrating the ancient mud brick buildings. Today there's not much more than a few disintegrating mud brick monuments. But at one time Merv was one of the major capitals on the ancient Silk Route between China and the West. It rivalled Damascus, Baghdad and even Cairo as a trading centre. Nowadays, few people live here... most trade is done outside...

Το Γκεμπεκλί Τεπέ (Göbekli Tepe) (αναφέρεται στα ελληνικά και Γκιομπεκλί Τεπέ, αν και η προφορά του είναι πιο κοντά στο «Γκεμπεκλί») είναι αρχαιολογική θέση στη σημερινή Τουρκία, που βρίσκεται ακόμα υπό ανασκαφή. Το Γκεμπεκλί Τεπέ είναι ένα ύψωμα 760 μέτρα πάνω από την επιφάνεια της θάλασσας, που βρίσκεται στη Νοτιοανατολική Τουρκία, κοντά στα σύνορα με τη Συρία και απέχει 12 χιλιόμετρα από την πόλη Ούρφα. Σε αυτή την περιοχή έχουν βρεθεί προϊστορικοί ναοί της νεολιθικής εποχής που έχουν χρονολογηθεί γύρω στο 11.500 π.Χ. και είναι οι αρχαιότεροι στον κόσμο. Πιστεύεται ότι κατασκευάστηκαν από κυνηγούς-τροφοσυλλέκτες.
This is a site from 3rd millenium BC that is currently being excavated. We had a guided tour and ate with the crew.
