Abstract
The Choqazanbil temple located at 60 km of south west of shush city in the south west of Iran. This temple with 3500 years archaism is one of the oldest historical titles in Iran. The temple position is close to the Sardarabad anticline with Neogene to Quaternary deposits. Many news about damaging of ancient buildings are reported most recently. This report shows that stream erosion can excavate the land of temple up to 2 m. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of erosion around the Choqazanbil temple using GIS methods. We select one of streams in the western templeside. Aerial Photos and satellite imagery from 1951 to 2014 was collected for use in GIS calculations. The results of this study shown that gully erosion rates take increased over time. The average rate is 18.2 m/y. In next years, this value of gully erosion can make irrecoverable damages to the Choqazanbil temple.

Summary
Iran with more the 12000 years of civilization, is one of the most ancient countries in the world (Abrahamian, 2008; Foltz, 2015). Perhaps remnants of a civilization with a history of several thousand years, with costs and archaeologists carefully and with years of hard work brought the earthout, but over the decades, the atmospheric effects and disappears completely destroyed. Choqazanbil civilization (Foltz, 2015) is one of these cases that considered in this study. The most important dangers around Choqazanbil temple is Gully erosion. Gullies will continue to move by head ward erosion or by slumping of the side walls (Abdulfatai et al, 2014). Gully erosion is going to destroy the body of temple and other ancient mansions
