The Chest of Mysteries #5: Gates of Hades
Known as the "Gate of Hades", "Portal of Death" or "Portal of Hell", the sinister site in the province of Denizli in Turkey is also famous for the legends that surround it for thousands of years.
The Portal
Basically, they say that no one can get close to the ruins of these portals and that those who don't follow the rules will find no other destination than death.
Although all this seems questionable, the truth is that a group of scientists has proved that it really is best to stay away from the Gate of Hades.
In an article published recently in a journal of anthropology and archeology, researchers have revealed that the site is a dangerous place, precisely because it is over a fissure that continually releases large amounts of carbon dioxide.
Mystery Solved
The deaths are caused, therefore, by the great concentration of this gas in the region - to make matters worse, both the direction of the local winds and the sunlight end up collaborating so that the carbon dioxide spreads further and finds new victims.
The place earned the nickname "Gate of Hades" precisely because the emissions were interpreted as the breathing of creatures of hell.
The scientists also explain that the discovery helps us to interpret works by ancient writers, who have already described a mystical phenomenon that happened in the region: "Two thousand years ago, only supernatural forces could explain these phenomena from the depths," they concluded.
