In the northwestern United States, in the state of Wyoming, there is an unusual formation that looks like a giant tree stump. This is the Devil's Tower, which rises 1558 meters above sea level and is ranked among the country's national monuments. Its appearance and the mystery of its origin have haunted scientists from different countries for a long time. Read about the mysterious Tower of the Devil in the material of Rambler.
The Devil's Tower appeared at this place about 50 million years ago. Its lower part does not have a specific shape and consists of many stone “curls”, from which a flat rock with sharp corners and a vertical striped “pattern” “grows” upwards. Locals from time immemorial believed that nature simply could not create such an object, because it is not characterized by clear geometric lines.
According to one of the legends, a terrible demon lives on the Devil's Tower, hating people and trying to destroy them. In fits of a particularly bad mood, he begins to dance at the top and beat the drums. At these moments, clouds are gathering over the Tower of the Devil and a thunderstorm begins with an abundance of lightning, designed to destroy humanity.
According to ufologists, unusual forces operate in the vicinity of the Devil's Tower, and the energy of the rock itself is destructive for all living things. Often at the top of the Devil's Tower you can see a strange glow, which ufologists associate precisely with the action of unusual forces.
Of course, such attempts to explain the origin of a strange object and its unusual appearance of a landmark could not satisfy scientists. Researchers, having studied the Devil's Tower, put forward their own versions, of course, more prosaic.
According to some experts, the lower part of Devil's Tower is a huge crater that formed about two hundred million years ago. It was filled with liquid magma, which at some point splashed to the surface and eventually formed the upper part of the Tower.
According to another version, there was once an ocean on the territory of Wyoming, from the bottom of which magma was ejected. She froze instantly due to the temperature difference, while creating a hill. Over time, the ocean in this place disappeared, and the hill formed at its bottom remained. Under the influence of rains and winds, over time, the Devil's Tower acquired its unusual shape.
All theories of the appearance of an unusual monument are interesting in their own way. And the Devil's Tower itself attracts tourists from different countries, striking with its strange appearance and gigantic size.
