Well, there is, the same Bible says Jesus Himself went there.

Too bad there is no historical proof that HELL !! exists.

There is. And it took place in real history.

In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus himself tells a story about a rich man who is in hell.

Some believe, because they have been falsely taught, that the account is a parable. But it does not have the earmarks of a parable. The story contains a name, the man Lazarus, and tells of a rich man who, Jesus says, in hell.

The KJV says that the man is in hell. The Greek word Jesus uses is hades, spelled ᾅδῃ, in the Greek of the New Testament. Strong's Concordance says about the word: [hádes]. . . properly, the "unseen place," referring to the (invisible) realm in which all the dead reside, i.e. the present dwelling place of all the departed (deceased); Hades.

Of the place, Jesus says that it is a place of horrid torment ("I am tormented in this flame.""), that is separated from wherever Father Abraham is by a great, fixed gulf of some kind.

Jesus makes it pretty clear that the rich man is there for eternity, with no comfort, and pain.

The Son of God has warned us in an account of a real place about three real men.
