The Barhout Well, known as the "Well to Hell", is 30 meters wide and 112 meters deep and is located in the Yemeni province of Al-Mahara in the east of the country. This well is part of many superstitions and myths, but even so, a courageous team of 10 cavemen decided to explore it more. They believe that they were the first people to decide to explore the well in depth.

AccuWeather reports that Mohammed al-Kindi, a member of the team who is a professor of geology at the German University of Technology in Oman, told the French news agency AFP that the cavemen were driven by a keen desire to explore the well. "We felt it was something that would reveal a new miracle and part of Yemeni history," he added, according to a report in Live Science.

Well of Hell - Exploring myths

For centuries, the locals believed that the Well of Hell was a prison for an evil spirit. The fear of the ghost living in the well is so great that the Yemeni locals are afraid to come near the entrance to the well so that the ghost will not draw them in. At its bottom there should also be an entrance to the house of evil genie, and according to legend, we should also find a gateway to hell itself. The genies are ghosts from Arabic myths and are believed to have inspired the story of Aladdin and the magic lamp.

Yemen's Barhout well was largely unexplored until a team of Omani cavers reached the bottom last week. But when he examined, he found no trace of hell or any other magical creature. The Barhout well is considered to be at least a million years old, but it is difficult to say exactly when the collapse occurred and its origin. If the slump doesn't happen when people live on the spot and record the event, then it's almost impossible.

Instead of ghosts, the team found cave pearls and snakes

Although the Omani cavemen did not find ghosts, they encountered something just as scary, a large number of snakes. However, as the Irish Sun states, al-Kindi remarked, "Yes, there were snakes, but if you don't bother them, they don't bother you either." There were also the remains of dead animals, mostly birds, which probably explains the strong smell from the pit. At the bottom of the well, the team discovered a floor covered with green cave pearls, which is a wonderful natural phenomenon.

Cave pearls are concentric deposits of calcium carbonate that form around nuclei under falling water. These rings are smoothed by the movement of water for thousands of years until they form beautiful pearl shapes. Where the floor of the cave was jagged and uneven, the team found stalagmites, some reaching up to 9 meters. Stalagmites are formed by the accumulation of minerals, such as calcium carbonate, in constantly dripping water. Another amazing discovery was the small underground waterfalls. The team collected samples of water, rocks, soil and some dead animals, but have not yet been analyzed. "
