Scientists testing the ruins found CO₂ making up to 53% of the air at the mouth of the cave, and reaching as high as 91% inside. Normal atmospheric levels of CO₂ are around 0.039%, and 10% is enough to asphyxiate a person in 30 minutes. (Pfanz et al. link.springer.com/article/10.1...)

Today, the Ploutonion at Hierapolis reminds us of a time when gods and demons used to breathe out of the cracks in the earth. It reminds us that another world used to exist just out of sight, beneath the surface of our own.

For centuries, the fishermen who sailed in the placid waters of Lake Nemi, 30km south of Rome, knew a secret. Legend had it that the rotting timbers of a gigantic ancient wreck lurked below the water's quiet surface.

Still, the stories about the gigantic ship persisted. In the middle ages, fishermen even used grappling hooks to bring up ancient artefacts from the supposed wreck to sell as curiosities. In 1446 a young Cardinal & nephew of the Pope, Prospero Colonna, decided to investigate the rumours.

From inscriptions on lead pipes and tiles, it soon became clear that what had been discovered were the pleasure barges of the infamous first-century Roman Emperor Caligula.

Hierapolis was a city built on a plateau over the modern Turkish site of Pamukkale, meaning “cotton cliffs”. This unique landscape was formed as calcium deposits bubbled from thermal springs and formed cliffs of white limestone.

Over time, Hierapolis became a draw for ancient tourists, who wanted to see the macabre spectacle themselves. The eunuch priests of the temple led bulls down into the cave tied with ropes, while spectators watched from the stands. They would drag out its corpse minutes later.
