Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A very small cave (about a metre wide, 1.5 m high, and one ore two metres long) in a marble cliff (note 1) lies opposite across from the cave entrance to Grotte –>Khouar Qouleh. SITUATION (compare Grotte –>Khouar Qouleh): At a travelling distance of about 1.5 km in an unspecified direction from Jalala (35°07'53-: E71°21'33“ WGS84, nima.mil/geonames accessed 28.05.2004), and in (or opposite?) a small ravine on the right (western) bank of Kunar River. The cave walls exude bituminous matter (asphalt) and are, in parts, moist due to suitements (water originating from oozing percolation or condensation).A very small cave (about a metre wide, 1.5 m high, and one ore two metres long) in a marble cliff (note 1) lies opposite across from the cave entrance to Grotte –>Khouar Qouleh.
