This temple located in the Turkish city of Hierapolis is called the 'Gate of Hell'. Since ancient Roman and Greek times many people were afraid to go near it. The ancient Greek geographer Strabo called it a deadly place, saying that anyone who visited it would die. Strabo said it was a small open space just large enough for a man to enter. It can be said to be like a small cave. Which reaches quite deep. It is so foggy that even the ground is barely visible. The creatures that are brought into it collapse and are pulled out dead. When Strabo dropped sparrows into it, they died within seconds. It is considered to be the wrath of the gods but now scientists have unveiled the mystery behind this death.
According to the information, this place was once used for religious sacrifice. In which birds, bulls and other animals were seen as symbols of gods. The skeletons of birds are lined up at the site of the temple ruins. There are inscriptions dedicated to the gods on these pillars. A team of archaeologists excavating the site also reported finding strange objects from the temple. Excavator Francesco D'Andrea said that during the excavation we were able to see the deadly properties of the cave. Many birds died trying to get closer to warmer and open places.
not taking the lives of the gods
Birds used to die while going near this cave of Mandgir. But the cause was not the breath of the angry gods. What happened was that a dangerous gas was leaking from the upper surface of the earth. The deadly chemical of carbon dioxide was leaking from the entrance of the temple. A study by archaeologists found that a chamber beneath the temple was emitting up to 91 percent of CO2, a deadly chemical. Animals and birds were dying after coming in contact with this vapor.
