Every religion and culture has their own story about the underworld or hell. For the Romans, the entrance, or one of the entrances, to this place was at Lake Avernus, near the city of Cumae. It is in a cave near Cumae that the Sibyl who gave King Tarquin the famous Sibylline Books lived. Beneath the town of Baiae, which is nearby both of these sites, is a tunnel complex which possibly hints at a belief in the Sibyl as a real, historical person, and which possibly was the ritual site of a cult of the dead, housing an Oracle of the Dead, a dark counterpart to the more famous Oracle of Apollo at Delphi

Great stuff . . . fascinating place.
Knights of the Zodiac taught me about this.
What a fucking nice channel. Keep up with the good work
I had seen pictures of the outside but did not know there had been any exploration or that pictures from inside existed. Thank you!
If the "Styx" is natural then I'd wager there was a previous natural cave that was later expanded.
God this is so cool
ok this is creepy lol
Is a cenote AND there could be offers there too because of that,Is a cenote
Fascinating. I explored the ruins at Baia a decade ago when hardly a soul was around in the massive place, but I don't remember seeing anything about the tunnels.
