Hell and the core of the earth

Is it just a coincidince that people in ancient times conceived of a fiery realm of torment underneath the ground, when there actually is a fiery realm underneath the ground? When was it discovered that the core of the earth consists of molten lava? Surely after the idea of Hell was invented.

Maybe they got the idea from volcanoes. Or maybe the idea was a combination of pagan concepts of the 'underworld' (the Norse called thier's 'Hel', and it was icey cold) with someone's vision of what the worst possible place would be like.

no volcano's where known for thousands of years before the idea of hell. and seeing how lava is flowing out from it. thats where the idea of hell came from. and back in those days only people of great rank could enter temples and places like that. so some dude claimed himself the son of god.

At it happens, the core of the Earth is solid hot iron about 6,000C, so there could be no hell there unless the condemned aren't allowed to move.

with pounds at hand i could eat enough raw bud to get high.
Id keef it some how then eat the keef. Where theres a will theres a way, and being stuck in a room with pounds of weed and no lighter i WILL find a way to ingest it.

Actually, though, as Diploid said, it's not molten lava.

You got a source on that one?
