Ancient Solak Likak Bahmai

The ancient Solak (Sarvak) Gorge is in one of the natural mountain crevices where reliefs related to the Parthian period are carved on the stones. In Sarvak Gorge, 13 reliefs and inscriptions are carved on 5 separate stone pieces, all related to the Elymais and Parthian periods.

The names Sarvak and Solak are both correct, and the naming of this gorge is due to the beautiful Zarbīn cypresses growing there. In the Naseri Farsnameh, Solak Gorge is referred to as the Wheel of Small Cypresses. This gorge has been used by rulers at various times in history due to its strategic location. From the beginning of the long, difficult-to-pass rocky chest, a beautiful stone-paved road has been built, with a width of 1 to 3.5 meters, continuing for about 700 meters. This ancient stone road, known as the Royal Road, according to Gershmen and other researchers, was a communication route between the Persian Gulf, Khuzestan, and Isfahan.
