00:00:00
level one limbo the first level isn't
00:00:03
really considerable hell it's basically
00:00:05
Earth but you can't die with the only
00:00:07
punishment being the knowledge that the
00:00:08
current state therein will be the same
00:00:10
for eternity Dante himself defined it as
00:00:12
the place where instead of screaming
00:00:14
there is sighing it's where unbaptized
00:00:16
babies go and where righteous people who
00:00:18
were born before Christ reside such as
00:00:20
Plato and Socrates some people actually
00:00:22
went from the limbo level to heaven when
00:00:24
Jesus died on the cross since he came
00:00:26
down to the limbo and brought them with
00:00:27
him however they're mostly Old Testament
00:00:29
figures like like Adam Abel Noah Moses
00:00:32
Etc Julius Caesar is also in the limbo
00:00:34
since Dante was a big fan of ancient
00:00:36
Rome even though he couldn't put him
00:00:38
into heaven because he was born before
00:00:40
Christ MOS before the first actual level
00:00:43
of Hell there is Mos which is a figure
00:00:45
from ancient Greek mythology that judges
00:00:47
where people need to go in the
00:00:48
Underworld based on their actions
00:00:50
whenever someone comes into contact with
00:00:52
him they can't help but tell the truth
00:00:54
level two lust this is where people
00:00:56
who've committed sexual sins go and it's
00:00:58
the most used tempt by the Devils to
00:01:01
bring people into hell here we can find
00:01:03
great winds strong like a hurricane with
00:01:05
people who get pushed back and forth
00:01:07
constantly without the opportunity of
00:01:08
getting some rest in Dante's Divine
00:01:10
Comedy there is a principle called
00:01:12
contrap Paso which means that the
00:01:14
punishments of souls need to be done by
00:01:16
a process either resembling or
00:01:18
contrasting with the sin itself for this
00:01:20
exact reason people who lived blown
00:01:22
about by the passions of love now have
00:01:24
to be blown about by actual winds some
00:01:26
famous figures are found in this layer
00:01:28
such as Dao Paris and C Cleopatra who
00:01:30
isn't in hell just because she was
00:01:32
lustful but also because she was an
00:01:34
enemy of Rome level three gluttony in
00:01:37
level three there is a constant pouring
00:01:39
of a mixture of rain sleep snow and hail
00:01:42
with people constantly being pelted with
00:01:44
ice it's here that we can also find
00:01:46
Cerberus the three-headed dog from Greek
00:01:48
mythology who runs around and shreds
00:01:50
people to Pieces but since they can't
00:01:52
die they either just regenerate and stay
00:01:54
in a loop of suffering for eternity or
00:01:56
just lay there forever this punishment
00:01:58
is because according to the principle of
00:02:00
contrap Paso those who always ate are
00:02:02
now being eaten most of the people here
00:02:04
are laying down and playing dead so
00:02:06
Cerberus doesn't get to them and when it
00:02:08
tried to go for Dante Virgil who is his
00:02:10
guide threw dirt in its three mouths
00:02:12
distracting it it's at this level that
00:02:14
we learn that on Judgment Day everyone's
00:02:16
soul will be reunited with their body
00:02:18
and be in a state of perfection but
00:02:19
while Perfection sounds good in heaven
00:02:21
in hell it means perfect suffering level
00:02:24
four greed when they first enter level
00:02:27
four they see a sea of people constantly
00:02:29
running into each other like waves and
00:02:31
beating each other with big money bags
00:02:33
in between them Dante sees some bald
00:02:35
people who were commonly Friars so he
00:02:37
asks Virgil if they're members of the
00:02:38
church Virgil says that half of them are
00:02:41
indeed members of the church and the
00:02:42
other half are just people who fought to
00:02:44
hoarde wealth on Earth they are now
00:02:45
forced to literally fight for nothing
00:02:47
just as they fought for useless Earthly
00:02:49
wealth we also can't find recognizable
00:02:52
famous figures here because their faces
00:02:53
have been so disfigured from hundreds of
00:02:55
years of fighting that they're
00:02:57
unrecognizable level five Wrath this one
00:03:00
isn't to be confused with violence as
00:03:02
it's just for people who were mean and
00:03:03
angry all the time there is a sea of mud
00:03:06
with people constantly trying to push
00:03:07
each other down to come out on top and
00:03:09
there are bubbles coming up from the mud
00:03:11
which are actually coming from people
00:03:12
underneath screaming and crying the suin
00:03:15
can also be found in this level and they
00:03:16
lie Beneath the Sea eternally gurgling
00:03:19
their Lamentations this level has the
00:03:21
river sticks which is also filled with
00:03:23
people and Dante and Virgil take fleas'
00:03:25
boat who is a Greek mythology character
00:03:27
that acts as The Boatman that takes
00:03:29
Souls from the fifth layer to the lower
00:03:31
circles of hell while they're getting
00:03:32
nearer to their destination Dante sees a
00:03:35
red light which is the city of D the
00:03:37
city of dis encompasses the sixth
00:03:39
through the ninth circles of hell and
00:03:40
it's characterized by its fortified
00:03:42
walls and fiery landscape so from now on
00:03:45
every level is going to be in the city
00:03:47
of D when they get to the gates some
00:03:49
Fallen Angels appear and tell Dante that
00:03:51
he isn't dead yet and he isn't supposed
00:03:53
to go there so they lock the gates even
00:03:55
though Virgil tried to explain that
00:03:56
they're on a mission from God
00:03:58
furthermore the three furies come out
00:04:00
from the pillars of the gate covered in
00:04:01
blood and snakes and begin yelling for
00:04:03
Medusa forcing Dante and Virgil to cover
00:04:05
their eyes to not become stones and stay
00:04:07
there forever as things are getting bad
00:04:09
an actual Heavenly Angel comes down from
00:04:11
heaven with a huge Roar and starts
00:04:13
walking across the river sticks as he's
00:04:15
walking the Sea of souls gets pushed to
00:04:17
the sides to make room for it the angel
00:04:19
then arrives at the gates touches them
00:04:21
and they instantly open revealing the
00:04:23
Fallen Angels hiding cowardly behind
00:04:25
them the angel warns them that Dante and
00:04:27
Virgil are really on a mission from God
00:04:29
and and that if they were to hinder
00:04:30
their Journey they would suffer greatly
00:04:32
level six heresy this is the first layer
00:04:36
where people are actively sinning
00:04:37
against someone else so from here on
00:04:39
they get active torture and suffering
00:04:41
instead of just misery as they reach
00:04:43
level six where the Heretics reside they
00:04:45
see tombs cut out of rock laid along
00:04:47
each other where people are laying down
00:04:49
constantly being stoked with flames
00:04:51
there are Fallen Angel guards who make
00:04:52
sure everybody's lying down and properly
00:04:54
suffering we can also find King
00:04:56
Frederick II here since he was in the
00:04:58
opposite faction of Dante's when there
00:04:59
was a war between the pope and the
00:05:01
emperor level seven violence the seventh
00:05:04
level is divided into three parts the
00:05:06
outer ring for violence against others
00:05:08
the middle ring for violence against
00:05:10
themselves and the inner ring for
00:05:11
violence against God in the first part
00:05:13
the outer ring we find the river Fon
00:05:16
made of boiling blood where people are
00:05:17
forced to burn for eternity by the
00:05:19
Centaur who guard it and make sure no
00:05:21
one gets out Alexander the Great is here
00:05:23
since he killed a lot of people and we
00:05:25
learn that the river gets deeper the
00:05:26
closer the souls are to the Middle with
00:05:28
some people being complet completely
00:05:29
buried and some being able to take their
00:05:31
heads out and breathe in the second part
00:05:33
the middle ring there's a dark Forest
00:05:35
filled with dead trees and harpies which
00:05:37
are human bird amalgamations flying back
00:05:39
and forth Dante hears lots of screaming
00:05:42
but he can't see anybody so Virgil tells
00:05:44
him to pull off a branch from a tree
00:05:46
when he does so blood comes out of the
00:05:48
tree and it starts screaming that's
00:05:49
because the trees are actually people
00:05:51
who committed un alivent and since they
00:05:53
wanted to get rid of their bodies now
00:05:55
they have to spend eternity in something
00:05:56
that is not their body these tree people
00:05:58
grow fruits which are part of their
00:06:00
bodies that get eaten by the harpies
00:06:02
causing them great pain when Judgment
00:06:04
Day comes these trees will have their
00:06:06
lifeless bodies hanging from them making
00:06:08
them remember what they have done
00:06:09
forever in the third part the inner ring
00:06:11
there's a sand pit full of naked people
00:06:13
who are screaming the most out of every
00:06:15
level yet that's because there are
00:06:16
pieces of fire falling down on the sand
00:06:18
making it scorching hot also if one of
00:06:21
the souls gets tired of walking on
00:06:22
Boiling sand for eternity and it lays
00:06:24
down they would have to stay in that
00:06:26
position for 100 years exposing more of
00:06:28
their bodies to the burns in this layer
00:06:30
we can find capus who's a giant that's
00:06:32
laying there and laughing while saying
00:06:34
it isn't that bad he's doing this
00:06:35
because he doesn't want to let the Roman
00:06:37
god Jo who killed him know that he's
00:06:39
suffering we can also see people who
00:06:41
stare at purses all the time and they're
00:06:43
the usurers those who gave out loans
00:06:45
with high interest rates because they
00:06:46
defy God's law that each effort gives a
00:06:49
result since they made no efforts and
00:06:50
got lots of results level eight fraud
00:06:53
level eight is divided into 10 trenches
00:06:56
called bulus where people who made
00:06:58
different kinds of frauds are the first
00:07:00
bulah is for those who betrayed love for
00:07:02
example we can find a guy who sold his
00:07:04
sister to a lustful man they are forced
00:07:06
to run from one end of the trench to the
00:07:08
other as Devils whip them if they go too
00:07:10
slow the second bulja is for the
00:07:12
deceptive speakers those who lied to get
00:07:14
what they wanted and it consists of a
00:07:15
giant Pitfall of poop the idea is that
00:07:18
those who behest now are full of BS
00:07:20
always fighting and trying to push each
00:07:21
other down in the third bulja we can
00:07:23
find the simoniacs those who sold sacred
00:07:26
Goods like holy sacraments or passes to
00:07:28
get one's familiar out of purgatory for
00:07:30
cash Dante put them in here because back
00:07:33
then it was a huge problem in the church
00:07:35
with leaders selling pardons the ground
00:07:37
and bottom of the bulja are on fire and
00:07:39
there are random hot coals that shoot up
00:07:41
with flames the only way to avoid them
00:07:43
is to get into holes in the ground but
00:07:44
since they only cover the top part of
00:07:46
the body the feet stay up and get burned
00:07:48
here we can find Pope Nicholas III who
00:07:51
Dante thought started the trend of
00:07:52
getting paid for pardons the Pope says
00:07:54
to Dante that whenever the next Pope
00:07:56
comes to take his place he needs to dig
00:07:58
deeper underground to leave room for the
00:08:00
successor the fourth bulja is for
00:08:01
Sorcerers and Sears basically witches
00:08:04
and the only punishment they have is
00:08:06
that their heads are twisted backwards
00:08:07
so they have to walk backwards for the
00:08:09
rest of Eternity in the fifth bulja the
00:08:11
barrators are found which are people who
00:08:13
exchange money for political favors and
00:08:15
Corruption they are in a pot of boiling
00:08:17
tar with Devils keeping them in with
00:08:18
rods the sixth bulja for the Hypocrites
00:08:21
is composed of people with beautiful
00:08:22
robes from the outside but ugly on the
00:08:24
inside and really really heavy the
00:08:26
Hypocrites are forced to walk with them
00:08:28
on for eternity and there also a man
00:08:30
crucified in the middle of the bulja
00:08:32
Caiaphas the high priest who advised the
00:08:34
Pharisees to crucify Jesus the other
00:08:36
robed Hypocrites have to step on him
00:08:38
with their heavy robes the seventh bulja
00:08:40
is for thieves and there are giant
00:08:42
lizard snake things that have stingers
00:08:43
that turn people into Ash people run
00:08:45
with some sort of snake handcuffs behind
00:08:47
their back being stung into Ash and
00:08:49
regenerating in an eternal Loop in the
00:08:51
eighth bulja we can find evil leaders
00:08:53
and counselors and we can see a long
00:08:55
area with little fires that look like
00:08:57
fireflies while in actuality they there
00:08:59
are souls underneath them who burn all
00:09:01
the time since everyone who led others
00:09:03
to death with treachery and Leadership
00:09:05
is here we can find ulses too since back
00:09:08
then they thought that the world had a
00:09:09
limit and they thought that Ulisses went
00:09:11
onto the sea with his crew until the end
00:09:13
of the world where they fell off and
00:09:14
died in the ninth bulja we can find the
00:09:16
sers of Discord and there's a sea of
00:09:18
Carnage that looks like it's from every
00:09:20
war in history with every imaginable
00:09:23
part of the body ripped to shreds it's
00:09:25
for people who purposefully caused
00:09:26
trouble and there are demons picking
00:09:28
people up ripping them to shreds and
00:09:30
throwing them into that sea where they
00:09:31
lay alive forever feeling the other body
00:09:34
parts being thrown onto them for some
00:09:35
reason Dante also put profit Muhammad
00:09:37
from Islam here too in the 10th and last
00:09:40
bul we can find the liars and falsifiers
00:09:42
in a pitch black scenario Dante had to
00:09:44
cover his ears from the shrieking that
00:09:46
he heard and it's because there's a
00:09:48
constant pestilence of illnesses far
00:09:50
beyond the ones on Earth such as people
00:09:51
covered in giant scabs that look like
00:09:53
fish scales that itch all over their
00:09:55
body that once scratched away bleed and
00:09:57
grow back level n treason the ninth
00:10:01
level the deepest one is a frozen lake
00:10:03
divided into four regions based on who
00:10:05
the souls betrayed Kindred and family
00:10:08
country guests and friends and God the
00:10:10
heads of the Sinners pop out from the
00:10:12
frozen lake and they stay frozen from
00:10:14
the neck down forever with their own
00:10:16
tears becoming Frozen the center of this
00:10:18
lake is the center of Hell itself Dante
00:10:21
encounters frier albergo who he knew
00:10:23
personally and was still alive so when
00:10:25
he asked him how it's possible that he's
00:10:26
there while alive albergo told him that
00:10:28
if someone commits a really really bad
00:10:30
Sin his soul goes straight into hell in
00:10:32
the ninth level and the body gets
00:10:34
possessed by a demon which is how demon
00:10:36
possessions happen albergo himself
00:10:38
invited a friend over and murdered him
00:10:40
thus betraying his trust as they go
00:10:42
towards the center Dante feels a wind
00:10:44
and once he gets close enough Virgil
00:10:46
explains that it's the wind caused by
00:10:47
Lucifer's Wings Lucifer is described as
00:10:50
massive with three faces the one on the
00:10:52
right being a dark blackish color the
00:10:54
one in the middle being deep blood red
00:10:55
and the one on the left being a bright
00:10:57
burning yellow from each of these faces
00:10:59
Blood and Tears pour running down his
00:11:02
body and creating a sort of river there
00:11:03
are only four people in this bottom pit
00:11:05
of Hell the first is Lucifer and then
00:11:07
there's the two on either side of the
00:11:08
heads which are Brutus and cassus the
00:11:11
two members of the Senate who conspired
00:11:12
against Caesar they hang on the left and
00:11:14
right sides of Lucifer's heads with
00:11:16
their top half hanging out and they're
00:11:18
constantly chewed with Lucifer reaching
00:11:20
up with claws and scratching them for
00:11:22
eternity in the middle head of Lucifer
00:11:24
is the most punished man ever Judas is
00:11:26
scariot the Apostle who betrayed Jesus
00:11:28
facing towards the throat of Lucifer
00:11:30
Dante says he can see his spine and
00:11:32
Bones as all of his skin has been
00:11:34
Stripped Away Lucifer got there at the
00:11:36
center of the Earth because when he was
00:11:38
cast out of Heaven the lands moved to
00:11:40
not touch him and he got stuck there
00:11:42
shooting a hole through Earth if you
