'Gate to Hell' unearthed among Turkey's ancient ruins

Archaeologists say they have pinpointed an ancient – and lethal – cave that was once believed to be the entrance to the underworld. Working at the World Heritage Site of Hierapolis in southwestern Turkey, Francesco D'Andria of the Italian University of Salento and his team found a cave featuring Ionic semi columns with inscriptions dedicated to Pluto and Kore, the underworld's deities. D'Andria and his team also found the remains of a temple, a pool, and multiple steps placed above the cave, which is said to closely fit the ancient writings on the site.
