Mystery surrounds unexplained deaths of devotees and tourists in an ancient temple in Greece. The temple is dubbed a “portal to hell” by the locals.
The incident first came to the fore after birds and animals were found dead in the temple near Pamukkale, southern Turkey. People believe that the birds and animals were killed by the deadly breath of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld.
However, scientists have solved the mystery. They believe that deadly concentrations of C02 gas could be seeping from the Earth’s crust which could have caused the mystery deaths near the temples.
This space is full of vapour, so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death. But while this may sound like something straight out of Indiana Jones, there appears to be some science behind it after all.
