The rock is an obstacle for aqueduct that Ajvaz grandfather wanted to take down to the village and decided to pray to the Almighty to breake the rock in order to carry out plumbing. Evenry mornign for 40 days he went on the rock doing morning prayer and prayign for it. Fortith morning, reading Quran after prayers, he fell asleep and dreamed two rams colliding and rock came apart. When he woke up, he saw that his prayers wasreceived and rocks separated and the cleft in the gorge directed towards the qibla (the Kaaba in Mecca).
Gap in this rock is 4 meters and through it, Ajvaz-dedo put wooden pipes (tomruci) placing them on the surface of the earth, and that is the only difference between this and modern plumbing.
