The house with its canted roof probably contributes to the optical illusion, hence, why you see it when you are there in person. our camera was zoomed in close to the subjects and you couldn't see the house behind them. Curiously, we took some photos and the illusions don't show up in the photos, but they do when you see them with the naked eye. From the guide's description of it, it's more of a bubble or sphere in which weird things happen.)Īs a physics major, I can tell you it's all nonsense, but the illusions themselves are pretty interesting. (The funniest bit is that it's called a vortex at all. There's a board plastered with all sorts of science textbook-style diagrams and formulas to lend it an air of legitimacy. Our energetic guide spent a lot of time tossing out some pseudo-science and even invoking Albert Einstein to explain it all. is tilted in strange ways, and both my wife and I found it disorienting when we were in it. The centerpiece is this wonky house where there are no right angles. What is it? It's essentially a series of optical illusions that appear to show people changing height based on where they stand at the various stops of the tour. My wife is a certified dental assistant who works as an office manage, and they gave her a discount too for her public service work. We were both given entrance discounts - I'm a Canadian military vet and they honoured that with a vet's discount. The cheese factor is near the top of the scale for this attraction, but it's done with such sincerity and earnestness that my wife and I just went with it and had fun. It is a sacred place to some.Īll I can say is to come see it for yourself, and have fun while you are there! The Vortex, itself, was/is thought to have healing properties. It isn't-it just happens to have landed near the center of the affected area. People often assume that the little building is theoVortex. Odd things occur within that building, which you do get to go through and try out the various experiments for yourself. That assaying office is known as, The House of Mystery. The assaying office had slid down the hill to it's current spot in 1914. Near the center of the Vortex is an old assaying office, built in 1904, of The Grey Eagle Mining Company, which was established in 1892. The Pyramid of Giza is built on top of it-specifically the Throne Room). It is one of the two largest known vortices of this type in the world (the other largest-known vortex of this type is over in Egypt. The Vortex is in the environment itself, and averages an acre in size. Watch yourself and others grow and shrink! Balls and bottles appear to roll uphill!The Vortex itself is naturally occurring, scientific anomaly. This is a guide-led, interactive tour that takes about an hour to go through. Well worth the money and time! This is an enjoyable and fun activity for people of all ages.
