More And More Mysteries,

are being solved around the world,

but here is one that scientist are still struggling to solve, how deep is the hell hole known as the Well of Barhout in eastern Yemen? located in the valley, Barhout Well is 30 meters wide and thought to be anywhere between 100 and 250 meters deep. The depth is just pure estimation, as no one has been down to the bottom of it, and considering the chilling legends and stories surrounding it not even Yemeni scientists and explorers have been able or willing to reach the bottom, as the low oxygen and strange odours emanating from the well forced them back to the surface, photographs AFP,

"It's very deep—we've never reached the bottom of this well, as there's little oxygen and no ventilation," said Salah Babhair, director-general of Mahra's geological survey and mineral resources authority, "We have gone to visit the area and entered the well, reaching more than 50-60 metres down into it. We noticed strange things inside. We also smelled something strange... It's a mysterious situation."

so if there are any bold, fearless, intrepid explorers out there, this could be the place to make a name for yourself, get to the bottom of the well and bring back whatever you find there!
