ABC's 20/20 did a segment on this very subject earlier this year. They went to the Jerusalem area & determined that "Hell" was in reality an ancient pit or dump where fires constantly burned & people would dump everything there... including DEAD BODIES!
Appartantly, a common expression or even a threat back then was that a bad person would end up there, if they didn't behave.
There was also a word that they used back then, that was similar to the word "Hell" & it has stuck in folklore since. I can't remember now what this word was, but they said it in the piece.
And, this isn't the only time 20/20 has investigated Religious folklore over the years. Most clergymen just say "well you have to have faith" when confronted with supplying proof or facts to support claims in the Bible.
Interesting huh!
