According to D'Andria, Pluto's Gate was a sort of tourist attraction, where pilgrims tested the cave's deadly emissions with small birds, while priests sacrificed bulls to Pluto. Animals were led into the cave, then brought out dead. Pilgrims slept near the cave after taking water from the pool and received visions and prophecies.

I hope they gated off their hellish discovery. One curious child and ... lawsuit!
