Announcement Gate findings Pluto (plutonium in Latin) in an archaeological conference in Turkey last month, has just reported by Discovery News. Francesco D'Andria, professor of classical archeology at the University of Salento in Lecce, Italy, explore the World Heritage Site of Roman-Greek Hierapolis for years, led the research team.

D'Andria told Discovery News that he used to be a hint of ancient mythology find the legendary gate to hell in the underworld. "We found the plutonium to reconstruct the route to the hot springs. The springs of Pamukkale 'which produces the famous white terraces derived from this cave."

Writers such as Cicero and Greek geographer Strabo noted that the gate is located at the ancient site in Turkey, according to Discovery, but no one managed to find it until now.

"Pluto's Gate" has been documented by Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites included in the description of Hierapolis. "Stick to the temple in the southeast is Plutoneion, the source of the fame of the city. Strabo describes it as a hole in the hills, which is in front of it covered by a thick fog which can be fatal to anyone who enters."

Strabo (64 BC-24 BC) wrote, "This place is filled with smoke so thick fog until you can not see land. Animals are passed directly to death. I throw a sparrow and they immediately draw the last breath and fall."

Hell's Gate is still as dangerous until now. Said the professor, "We could see the deadly cave during the excavation. Some birds die immediately when trying to get closer to opening a hot, directly killed by the fumes of carbon dioxide."

According to Discovery News, the smoke is coming from the cave beneath the site, including columns with carved for Pluto and Kore, underground gods. It was also found ruins of temples, ponds and stairs are placed on top of the cave. D'Andria currently at work on the site digital them.

Interestingly, these openings are not the only gateway to the world's first underground. In the Karakum Desert, according to the Daily Mail, there is a big hole volcano that has been burning for 40 years. Visitors came to Derweze in Turkmenistan and look it up on the internet. The geologists who were drilled in the area of natural gas discovered cave. In the hope of eliminating the gas, they burn the cave. The fire was kept burning so that local people called him the "gates of hell".
