The Gates of Hell is not a fictitious theory, as the damned place exists in the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan. The firey hole has been burning for 38 years and provides instant death to whoever comes across, and accidentally falls into it.
Found on a site which searches for the strangest places on earth, The Gates of Hell was created by an industrial accident.
The Gates of Hell is actually a gas cavern that a Soviet drilling rig accidentally punched a massive hole through in 1971. Since then, they have kept it alight to prevent a potential environmental catastrophe.
