Cylinder with a ritual scene, early 2nd millennium B.C., Geoy Tepe, Iran.

Geoy Tepe is an archaeological site in northwestern Iran, about 7 kilometers south of Urmia (Reżāʾīya). It was found by an aerial survey of ancient sites in Persia done by Erich Schmidt in the 1930s.

The site's mound is 80 feet in height and is situated by a natural spring. T. Burton Brown of Great Britain excavated the site in August 1948. It was found to have been continuously occupied from the 4th millennium BC until 1200 BC.

Remains of the earliest stage of the Kura-Araxes culture have been found here.
