Abstract

Khun Fousheh cave is located in the geographical position of eastern longitude of 49 degrees, 9 minutes and 54 seconds and northern latitude of 37 degrees 2 minutes and 41 seconds, 930 meters high in the mountain range of Talesh in the southwest of Fousheh in Ghale Rudkhan village that leads on the south to the Brenna heights and the Lase Posh and Tikaw, on the east to the Mate Khani heights and on the west to the highlands of the Dezdebon. The cave was named by the author in 1993 as Ghare Khun ("Blood Cave") after its discovery because it was in the forest area called “Khun” (the blood, the source of the spring in the Taleshi language).
