The Mystery Of The Well Of The Torah
It's really a gate to another world... Another explanation for this natural phenomenon, scientists have found. Well of Torah – one of a kind person uncharted mystery of our planet. Another similar phenomenon, the Well of Jacob, studied in the second half of the last century. But to study Well the Torah and to this day, daredevil was not. All because of the natural funnel diameter of 5 meters and when the time comes for the tide it seems that the hole sucks up the water. And after only a few seconds, the Well of Torah with the crazy power of "spits" absorbed water.
Scientists suggest that with a funnel connected system of underground caves. But this is just a guess.
During low tide the curious tourists and photographers-the Braves are trying to come closer and look into the underworld. But too slippery rocks and strong wind always prevent curiosity.
Why is this crater formed among the rocky cliffs of Cape Perpetua (Oregon, USA) called "the Well of Torah"? An ancient legend tells of jealousy and murder: a long time ago on these picturesque shores of the Pacific ocean was a favourite meeting place for couples. One of them was particularly lovely: a handsome young soldier and a beautiful girl. Every evening they met at the place where now the funnel. One day, the girl told about the betrayal of her boyfriend, and she believed the insidious speeches of the envious friends. On date night came with a knife in his hand and, without explanation, pierced his heart, loving her young man. All this was seen Thor and turned the flowing blood in sisigaw lava and left at the scene of a deep gaping wound. This crater today is a reminder of how destructive jealousy can be.
