Around 200 BCE ancient people would flock to a Temple in the City of Hierapolis, which was part of the Roman empire in modern day Turkey.
Located on top of a cave was what they believed to be the Gateway to Hell, named Plutonium after the God of the Underworld Pluto.
Animals of all various sizes from birds to bulls would drop dead at the entrance or soon after as the people believed the cave was thought to exhale the breath of death, of course more than 2000 years ago this was quite the phenomenon to behold.
The Greek geographer Strabo described the phenomenon as the following; “Every animal that passes inside meets instant death. At any rate, the bulls that are led into the cave fall and are dragged out death. I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last breath and fell”.
He did recognize that the reaction was related to the emission of a gas, he wrote “The space is full of a vapour so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground”.
Even though he knew it was a gas causing the animals to die he kept being puzzled as to how the priests were seemingly unaffected, wondering if they truly were divine or if they were unaffected because they simply held their breaths?
