Cahokia Woodhenge, located within the Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site in Collinsville, Illinois, is the largest pre-Columbian settlement north of Mexico. Geologically, the site is situated in the American Bottom, a fertile flood plain where the convergence of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Illinois rivers creates a massive hydro-vortex of moving water and alluvial energy.
The Woodhenge vortex is defined by a series of five distinct timber circles constructed by the Mississippian people between 900 and 1100 CE. The most famous of these, Woodhenge III, consists of forty-eight massive red cedar posts arranged in a precise circle with a central observation pole. The energy of the vortex is most potent during the solstices and equinoxes, when the rising sun aligns with specific perimeter posts to create a needle of light.

Note: There is currently no scientific method to prove that vortexes exist. Just because a location is on the vortex map, does not prove there is a vortex there. What it means, is that someone suggested the location and provided evidence or a personal account, and/or we found corroborating evidence from other sources. We do this so other visitors to the site can send us their opinion on the validity of the vortex claim, to build a consensus.
