History and Discovery of Jurassic Cave of Iran
The rocks of Alisadr Cave dates back to the Jurassic period in Iran. It started about 190 million years ago and continued until 136 million years ago. Alisadr Cave is a combination of rainwater and carbon dioxide gas in the air and penetration into thick calcareous layers. Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form an unstable compound, calcium bicarbonate, and limestone has evolved to create voids.
Over millions of years, these empty spaces have been connected to form Alisadr Cave in Iran. The people of village also used the water of this cave. But it was not possible to enter this cave for a while until years after the terrible earthquake in this area. The mouth of the cave was very narrow, which already has a path for walking and moving several boats.

The water of Alisadr Lake is odorless with a normal taste, but it is not drinkable due to its high salt content. It is so clear that you can easily see up to a depth of 10 meters without the naked eye. Interestingly, there is no animal life in this lake.
