@omarcmysteries: In Turkey, a mountainside that looks like it's buried in snow is actually made of solid stone. ☠️👁️ Seventeen hot springs pour down the slope, heavy with dissolved rock; the moment the water hits the air, it releases carbon dioxide and the rock hardens back into stone — building a blinding white cliff more than a mile and a half long, called Pamukkale, the "cotton castle." Over 2,000 years ago, the Greeks built the city of Hierapolis on top of it for its healing waters. But beneath the temple lay a crack they called a gateway to the underworld — the Plutonium. The ancient writer Strabo recorded that birds thrown inside died instantly, and bulls led in by priests collapsed on the spot… while the priests themselves walked out unharmed, seeming immune to the gods of death. In 2018, scientists finally measured the gas and cracked it: at dawn, that same carbon dioxide forms an invisible layer low to the ground — high enough to smother a bull's head, but not the head of a man standing upright. The very gas that built the white mountain was also guarding its gate. How many "curses" are really just chemistry? 👇 #mystery #didyouknow #unexplained #turkey
