There's a mystery line in Dante's Inferno and no one knows what it means.

There's a mystery line in Dante's Inferno and no one knows what it means.

Dante’s inferno is the first part of Dante Alighieri's 14th-century epic poem Divine Comedy. It is followed by Purgatorio and Paradiso.




It is anallegory telling of the journey of Dante through Hell, guided by the Roman poet Virgil.




In the poem, Hell is depicted as nine circles of suffering located within the Earth. Allegorically, the Divine Comedy represents the journey of the soul towards God, with the Inferno describing the recognition and rejection of sin.




"Raphèl maí amèche zabí almi" is a verse from Dante's Inferno. The verse is shouted out by Nimrod, one of the giants who guard the Ninth Circle of Hell.




The line, whose literal meaning is uncertain (it is usually left untranslated as well), is usually interpreted as a sign of the confusion of the languages caused by the fall of the Tower of Babel.




Reality is that no one knows what it really means and that is a mystery that still prevails now.
