Hierapolis

Hierapolis (Ancient Greek: Ἱεράπολις, lit. "Holy City") was an ancient city located on hot springs in classical Phrygia in southwestern Anatolia. Its ruins are adjacent to modern Pamukkale in Turkey and currently comprise an archaeological museum designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The hot springs have been used as a spa since the 2nd century BC, with many patrons retiring or dying there. The large necropolis is filled with sarcophagi, most famously that of Marcus Aurelius Ammianos, which bears a relief depicting the earliest known example of a crank and rod mechanism.

The great baths were constructed with huge stone blocks without the use of cement and consisted of various closed or open sections linked together. There are deep niches in the inner section,[clarification needed] including the bath, library, and gymnasium.

        Ploutonion. The deadly vapors that waft out of this 'gate to hell' were once used in ancient rituals honoring Pluto, god of the underworld —and still claim the lives of unfortunate birds who get too close. The Pluto's Gate site, or Ploutonion in Greek, was built on top of a cave that emits toxic gases. Consisting of a temple, a pool, and a cavern—the 'gate'—it was seen as a passage to the underworld and formed part of the ruined ancient city of Hierapolis, founded around 190 BC. Hierapolis 31
