Sangtarashan cave explained

Sangtarashan cave (fa|غار سنگ‌تراشان, also known as Sangshekanan cave and Sangeshkan cave) is located in the Jahrom, in southern Iran. Despite being known as a cave, it is manmade, and is therefore not considered a true cave, as these must be naturally forming.

The cave dates back to 150 years ago and is regarded as the largest artificial cave in the world. The cave lies to the south of Jahrom.^{[1] [2]}
