According to desert folklore, the sand dune desert is regarded as a cursed land, governed by malevolent spirits and demons.^[2] It is believed that those who venture into the dunes are destined never to return. Dasht-e Kavir desert encompasses salt marshes notorious for swallowing people, earning it the moniker of Iran's very own Bermuda Triangle.^[3]
