Zayandeh River Culture
Hypothetical culture of 6th millennium BCE Iran / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zayandeh River Culture (تمدن زاینده رود, literally "Zāyandé-Rūd Civilization") is a hypothetical pre-historic culture that is theorized to have flourished around the Zayandeh River in Iran in the 6th millennium BC.[1]

Archaeologists speculate that a possible early civilization existed along the banks of the Zayandeh River, developing at the same time as other ancient civilizations appeared alongside rivers in the region, such as the Sumerian civilization in Iraq and the Indus Valley civilization in ancient India.
The Zayandeh River Culture is considered as a very important Neolithic Iranian settlement, along with Ganj Dareh.[2]
