5-Treasure Lake
Treasure Lake is located in the center of the ancient site of Takht-e Soleiman and has given a special effect to this place. This place is actually a limestone spring that pumps groundwater aquifers to the ground with great pressure; It is said that there are valuable treasures hidden in the bottom of this Lake , which has led to it being called a lake of treasure . This water is rich in salts and this is a great obstacle for diving in the lake and seeing its depths; This has caused all the narrations and legends that exist around treasure lake to be sealed; It is said that there was a city under the lake where these treasures remained.
This lake has been created over the years due to the accumulation of glazes from compounds in the water; The depth of the lake was very shallow at first, but now, after many years, the depth of this Lake is about 60 meters.
The treasures of the lake;
- Ring of the king solomon: Solomon had a ring in his hand from which he received his power. There are stories that the devil reached for this ring and threw it deep into the lake so that he could sit on Solomon's throne.
- Cyrus' treasure : Traditions say that Cyrus the Great Persia' s emperor, after defeating the king of Lydia, came to this lake and poured his treasury in the water of the lake as a sacrifice to God.
- Sassanid treasure : Khosrow Parviz, the Sassanid king, was always at war with the Roman king. After a while, the Romans besieged this city, but before the complete victory, the priests dumped all the treasures of the fire temple into the lake so that the enemy would not gain them.
No-one can reach the bottom of the lake, Indeed if you look closely around the lake, you can see various graves which has been make as a sign of the people who have tried to reach the treasures of the bottom of lake and have never came back.

Some locals even say they have heard goblins talking to each other in the area. Other locals say that whoever steps into this desert is swallowed up by the earth and never returns.

Locals have heard a lot of noise from this forest and say, it is better to leave this area before nightfall. But if you travel to this area to experience the horror, you should go to the eastern part of the village, where the weather suddenly gets heavier and about 200meter into the forest, you can see the abandoned cottage with many local legends in addition to it's heavy atmosphere. According to locals, if you can only last one night in this cottage, you will become extremely rich!
Despite these superstitions, none of the natives and locals have been willing to come to this house for years, even to get rich. The reason for the fear of this cottage is the terrible fate of those who have spent a night in this mysterious and cursed cottage to prove their courage.
In 1966, four boys went to this village for the first time and decided to stay at the cottage overnight, contrary to all the rumors they had heard about the horror cottage. At night, two of the four boys escape from the cottage due to an unknown incident, but unfortunately, the other two who stay there face a more tragic fate. It has reported that one of them dies in the cottage out of fear, the cause of which is still unknown, and the other, who survived, goes crazy and never returns to normal.

The three girls went to the Anzali Horror cottage, and say that two days later, locals found a girl around the cottage. The girl was shocked and trembling with fear! Finally, people came and entered the house and found the other two girls who had died. The cause of death of both was stroke and instant death. It is said that both their eyes were fixed on a certain point and remained open. The other girl, committed suicide after a few days. After this incident, the cottage was evacuated by the local police and placed under security measures. Since then, no one is allowed to approach or visit this horror cottage and you can only see this cottage from a distance.
