The Truth about Hidden Corridors: Hell Portals Beyond the Laws of Physics, Part 1 of 2

It’s a common notion in various religions and ancient cultures that our world possesses not only gates to heaven, but also gates to hell. The phrase “gate of hell” can be found in the Christian Bible. The notion exists in other traditions as well. Some, such as Judaism, record historical locations of the entrances of hell. Others, such as the scriptures of Buddhism, depict “paths of heaven” and “paths of hell” as spiritual realms. According to their deeds, souls of living beings will be led either onto the good paths or onto the evil paths where they will suffer after death. Still other scriptures such as the Quran describe seven gates to hell that could be both paraphysical and physical.

In our technological era, new explanations of gates of hell involve both science and science fiction, as well as accounts of disappearances that occur there. In 2013, a scientific discovery at an ancient Greco-Roman archeological site is said to confirm that a hell gate is a real place. At the World Heritage Site of Hierapolis in present-day Türkiye, Italian scientists discovered what Roman statesman Cicero called Pluto’s Gate. As Greek geographer Strabo described it, the space was filled with “a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground, and any animal that passes inside meets instant death.”

In 2015, a San Pedro, California-based research vessel discovered a hellish underwater pit deep below the Gulf of Mexico. A widely circulated hellish image of another contemporary gate to hell is that of a huge dark crater filled with red flames, located in the Aral Karakum Desert, near Derweze, Turkmenistan.

The gates of hell, however, include more than just poisonous pits. Several places on Earth are famed for being hellish due to the mysterious disappearances of people, aircraft, and ships that have occurred there. One such place is the Bermuda Triangle, which extends from southern Florida, USA to Puerto Rico and Bermuda, covering 440,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s also known as Devil’s Triangle due to a long list of strange disappearances in the area. Notably, space scientists have become interested in the Bermuda Triangle. They have found a potentially catastrophic magnetic incongruity known as the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) in the area.
