There is one just like it near Bethlehem (wow - seasonal connection) and it has been proved to be optical.

I will have to admit it is a strange sensation. It certainly does feel like you are going uphill. I have an American friend who lives near there. He says that he even took a carpenter's level with some friends to check it out. Of course, he verified that it is just an optical illusion, but it sure is convincing.
