For centuries, the “Well of Hell” has been a mystery for many locals in Yemen. Folklore says the giant hole in the Al-Mahra desert is a place where demons live. But no one has ever explored the hole in depth to learn about this little-understood natural wonder. On September 15, 2021, a group of cavers decided to reach the bottom of the hole, where they found snakes, dead animals and cave pearls formed by dripping water.

The drone footage made it look like a big dark abyss that you can’t see the bottom off but in the videos at the bottom there was plenty of light to see. I’m surprised no one could make out what was done there by looking over the edge.

[@jonathantan2469]

It's because the outside where you're in is quite bright, so your eyes adjust to the brightness. While you can see what's in the bright side, you can't easily see what is in the dark area. This effect is even more pronounced for video & photo cameras, as they have a lower lighting range than the human eye.

Can someone explain the science how the well looks brighter when they're inside but dark when they're outside?

[@Drak_Thedp]

Your eyes adapt to the ambient brightness, and everything that's darker looks dark to you so does the camera. Like when you're at home in the evening with the lights on and you look out of the window, it seems darker than if you are actually outside.

[@TheFirebird123456]

Basically its the above but also dark objects in a bright environment can look really bright in a dark environment. For example the moon looks bright in the night sky but its really the color of coal. It just looks that bright bc the night sky is black.

[@tluangtea2435]

Bcos it dark inside and bright outside😏

[@poulomi__hari]

When light enters but is unable to escape, that place looks dark. In holes like these where light strikes the ground deep down but is reflected back only on the walls of the well inside. So from outside, it looks dark as the light is not reflected back to us. But when you go inside, the light that couldn't escape, is reflecting and illuminating the surfaces of the walls inside. So you can see the walls of the well when in, and you can see the light source too. Optics is a fascinating subject to be honest. This phenomena is the same for Black Holes. Its the same for small rat-holes. Whenever light is 'lost' in a hole, this happens.

i respect the man that went down there he is gonna get bad luck for the rest of his life

[@mistseeker388]

Well 99,9% of all mysteries end up exactly like that. As a dusty plane cave or something. Sometimes it's even better to not unearth the mystery, to not get disappointed.

[@70_Bheta]

Ikr. But many people are getting tempered when the science reveal the truth. People just wanted to still live up their imagination to next generation, so they have something to tell even if it's only a myth.

[@CLBOO6]

Of course, you’d found nothing except the nature preserved from human destructive hands.

I saw this on TikTok and it just sparked curiosity, I was thinking someone has had to go down there and here is the video. Thank you to all involved. Superstition turned into a oasis.

[@yesterdayschunda1760]

Seems to be a sinkhole from when an aquifer dried up. The amount of water still in there considering the surrounding area seems to confirm that. Ground water levels must have been much higher at one point.

[@bruceskellator]

So this is the hole, Bane's prison that Batman escaped from and had to make "the jump"

Bruce Wayne.😅 your cave is exposed.

be careful ascending, I heard the curse of the abyss makes you nauseous, puke blood and bleed from your eyes

[@JohnSmith-cd1kg]

I heard Daft Punk has built a town in it

[@rremnar]

The cave looks like an attempt to drill, like one of the movies of going to the center of the Earth, but it didn't get very far. I can't think much of what naturally could have made it. Lava tube comes to mind but it is straight up and down, and there wasn't a mention of any volcanos or activity in the region. Then there is the idea of water could have done it, but even that is sketchy.

[@mrsgamer9218]

There was probably a lot of water back then. Its millions of years old, not a strange idea if there was an ocean back there. I mean, they once found dead sea stars on top of a Mountain. The world is always changing...

[@Killzoneguy117]

It was almost certainly a sinkhole. Before this turns into an Ancient Aliens thread or something.

@@mrsgamer9218 yup going back to thousands of years Yemen was known as Heaven. It was green everywhere and full of wells and rivers at some point so you’re not wrong But this isn’t the actual Bahrot well the actual one is in a different city

Crazy in that desert and it's always raining there imagine what type of snakes where changed from being stuck in there for who knows how long

Sounds like one of the OST from Made in Abyss, perhaps "Tomorrow" by Kevin Penkin.

[@alpha3836]

What was under there, were some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I hope the locals now don't refer to the hole as misfortune/bad luck, and really start to appreciate the beauty of the well, and treasure it.

isnt that where people in made in abyss lived? :o

[@adeladelano3147]

The video was forged and the man who wanted to go down he was screaming loudly in the midst of the astonishment of the audience and was taken out unconscious, and the picture of the man standing in the middle is not a picture taken from the well, but taken from a video and another place

[@jasonchow6475]

Finally they are doing it. I can't wait to see what they find there.

[@moneymagnet9009]

So beautiful. I believe places like this has a spirit guardians. Imagine how ecosystem work to give lives there and thats a desert. Base on that appearance that hoke is not made by nature. It formed by advance equipment

[@default2591]

There's no such things

What lies inside might be like that previously reported sinkhole jungle in Yunnan

Genie is from the word Djinn, a malevolent spirt that is known for throwing rocks, sparking fires, mischief and kidnapping. It's also theorized they are behind the UFO phenomenon.

Should have brought some speakers down there then start playing roaring sounds and a local curse, add a bit of smoke and lighting then violent rope movement then you got a real legend!
