Fact and not just fiction”… A scientific magazine reveals the truth about the mysterious “sink of hell” in Brazil… Video

A strange water hole caused a lot of controversy after it spread widely in social media around the world, as many described it as a “hell hole”, especially after circulating scenes of it swallowing a number of animals.
According to the article published in the “sciencealert” journal, when the rains begin and “the sky opens” and large amounts of water fall east of Napa Valley in California, a “water gateway to hell” opens with it as well, according to the source’s description.
When the water levels rise in the very high Lake Perissa Reservoir above the Monticello Dam, the excess water begins to circulate in a large hole, mysteriously carved into the surface of the lake.

Locals fondly call this hole the Glory Hole, and the hole is not actually the “mouth of Hell”, as some describe it, although the vortex certainly looks like it.

The magazine confirmed that this huge hole that sometimes swallows waterfowl with it, fish and anything that may encounter its strong current, as shown in some videos on social media, is a waterfall, built by engineers in the fifties of the last century.

The pit is an effective alternative to the more classic bypass in dam designs around the world, and is used to control the flow of water from the dam and to control water levels in the lake.

But the article pointed out that the shape of the opening mouth during the rise of the water and the opening of the narrow spillway between the sloping mountains suggests to some that it resembles the “devil’s gate”, as the Monticello Dam is located between two sloping mountain masses that do not allow the creation of a side spillway channel, so scientists decided to build a huge “sink” that resembles The ones in the bathtub.
