Anyone ever want to go into the "Well of Hell"

Not talking about y'alls significant others...

A team of Omani cavers has made what is believed to be the first descent to the bottom of Yemen's fabled Well of Barhout—a natural wonder shunned by many locals, who believe it is a prison for genies.
quote:
The forbidding 'Well of Hell', whose dark, round aperture creates a 30-metre (100 foot) wide hole in the desert floor of Yemen's eastern province of Al-Mahra, plunges approximately 112 metres (367 feet) below the surface and, according to some accounts, gives off strange odours.
quote:
Inside, the Oman Cave Exploration Team (OCET) found snakes, dead animals and cave pearls—but no signs of the supernatural.
quote:
Over the centuries, stories have circulated of malign figures known as jinns or genies living in the well, which some regard as the gate of hell.

I don’t want to personally go in, but I’d watch a YouTube video of someone exploring it

Until the explorers all die within the next year of strange circumstances.

It looks like an 80 year old's bellybutton.

Not sure why, but that line made me crack up. I just have a mental picture of the genie in Aladdin behind bars and a middle easterner being terrified to even look in that direction.

From the picture in the OP, you can't tell if it is 30 meters, or 3 inches wide.

What, no pics from the bottom?

I'd explore that hole.

I thought this thread was about Mel’s Hole.
