The water of Kal-e Jeni is being transferred by a canal to a village called Tashkuni that historians believe is the village that Cyrus the Great spent first 16 years of his life in there. Kal-e Jeni means the canal of Jinn and is known as a mysterious place among the locals of the area.

Kal-e Jeni means the canal of Jinn and is known as a mysterious place among the inhabitants of the area. One of the reasons of this name is because of its mysterious-looking columns, arcs, and walls that people believe it was the house of jinns and aliens.

Craved Rooms

Craved Rooms

There are rooms carved in the walls of the valley which their real function has not been found yet, but the historians believe the followers of Mithraism used these rooms to hold their <a href="http://kindiran.com/post/index/cheleh">Chelehs</a> in them. There is a narrow and short hall where at its end there is a vertical tunnel that goes up to a set of ten rooms. Maybe followers of Mithra chose the name Kal-e Jeni for this canyon to scare people and avoid any interruption by them.

Sandy walls

Sandy walls

There is a belief that in a windy day when you stand in the valley, the jinn throws pebbles at you! The real reason for this phenomena is when the wind blows, it can easily remove the soft conglomerate of the canyon so the sand and pebbles from the walls hit your body, but the locals think the Jinn are doing it.

I have seen the king with a face of Glory, He who is the eye and the sun of heaven, He who is the companion and healer of all beings, He who is the soul and the universe that births souls.

Beg of God the removal of envy, that God may deliver you from externals, and bestow upon you an inward occupation, which will absorb you so that your attention is not drawn away.

the truth was a mirror in the hands of God. It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth.

You left and I cried tears of blood. My sorrow grows. Its not just that You left. But when You left my eyes went with You. Now, how will I cry?
