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

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.

Through Love all that is bitter will be sweet, Through Love all that is copper will be gold, Through Love all dregs will become wine, through Love all pain will turn to medicine.
