Around 300 million years ago the deposits of calcium carbonate and dead bodies of marine living things came together to form thick limestones, which went out of sea and went into the bottom of a lake around 50,000 thousand years ago due to the movement of the earth's crust. After another 30,000 thousand or 40,000 thousand years, these limestones went out of water again and formed the current Stone Forest gradually due to the wind erosion and storm’s wash.
