Hierapolis was an ancient Greco-Roman city located in Ancient
Phrygia, now
Pamukkale. Built over hot springs in the 3rd century BCE, the location has been used as a spa since the 2nd century BCE.
Recently a
Ploutonion, a portal to the
underworld was
discovered at the location. Ancient historian
Strabo described the gate as:
"Any animal that passes inside meets instant death. I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell".
