| Abstract | ||
| A few of so-called magnetic hills that appear in some regions of Kurdistan-Iraq were studied.These kinds of hills are downhill but look like an uphill slope and have names like(Hunted Hill),(Magnetic Hill) or(Anti-gravity Hill)in literatures,reflecting attribution of the properties of the area as supernatural or magnetism. The gravity, magnetic field and the slope of the hills has been calculated.We investigated that no supernatural forces found at work in these places and the slope of these two hills are optical illusions produced by the local topography that makes a downhill to look like an uphill slope. | ||
