The Yavapai-Apache people consider Boynton Canyon, which they call Che Ah Chi, to be a spiritual center. They believe the First Woman restored the land with the help of the sun and rain gods. However, the idea of vortexes in Sedona originated in the 1980s with psychic Paige Bryant, who channeled the vortexes and located their geographical locations.
One is a tall red rock formation off to the east known as Kachina Woman and the other is an unnamed red rock formation off to the west.
Many people believe these two actually form one vortex but because of the claims that people often feel energy at one and not the other it is up for debate. W562+PP Sedona, Arizona, USA

Surprisingly, numerous blogs and websites feature an entirely different ancient town, leading to a frustrating wild goose chase. Even upon identifying a potential location, reaching it poses its own set of difficulties. Moreover, seeking guidance from locals often yields little to no help, as they are often unaware of the area or the inquiry itself.

Nikola Tesla died in room 3327 of the Hotel New Yorker in Manhattan on January 7, 1943 at the age of 86. Tesla lived in rooms 3327 and 3328 of the hotel from 1933 to 1943, and both rooms are now decorated with photos of him and are available for rent.
Here are some fun facts about Nikola Tesla:
Birth
Tesla was born in 1856 in Smiljan, Croatia during a lightning storm. His mother said, “He will be a child of light” after the midwife thought his birth was a bad omen.
Languages
Tesla spoke eight languages, including Serbian, English, Czech, German, French, Hungarian, Italian, and Latin.
Memory
Tesla had a photographic memory and could recall written passages, data, and events from his childhood. He also had a powerful imagination and could visualize in three dimensions.
Hygiene
Tesla had obsessive hygiene habits and was afraid of germs after contracting cholera as a teenager. He also disliked touching hair.
Inventions
Tesla invented the Tesla coil in 1891, which he hoped could wirelessly transmit electricity for lighting. He also predicted portable technology in 1926 and described a "death ray" that could shoot down enemy planes.
Eccentricities
Tesla was obsessed with the number three and liked things in threes or multiples of three. He also hated pearls and refused to associate with women who wore them.
Other facts
Tesla loved feeding pigeons in New York and had a favorite pigeon with a name. He also enjoyed long walks and was good friends with Mark Twain.
