10 Cave of the Sibyl

A sibyl was a prophetess or clairvoyant woman who could foretell the future. In Virgil's Latin epic The Aeneid, Aeneas goes to the Sibyl of Cumae's cave to find her. She told him that he needed to go to the underworld if he wanted to build Rome into a great country. So, Aeneas is taken to the underworld, where he meets the ghosts of many famous people who have died. The Aeneid says that a sibyl speaks through her cave, which has a thousand mouths and makes her voice louder. In 1932, a cave called the Cave of the Sibyl of Cumae was found. It did have more than one entrance and is considered one of the many gateways of hell around the world.
