Which reminded me of my own visit to the gates of hell when I lived a five minute walk from the Valley of Hinnom, just outside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. The name is pronounced Gai Hinnom in Hebrew, which became the name of (and reputed location of the gates to) hell (Gehonnim in Hebrew).
