Panska Skala isn't sandstone. It is volcanic basalt formation made of hexagonal columns.

24:18 ⟶ Wow that's funny, over the weekend at the beach I learned about something... a group of flamingos is called "Flamboyance" and not a flock. 😂 BTW! I love Mingos... so cool... thanks for the video share!

I haven’t seen quite a few of these in other videos. Yay!

#13 . . . You got it ALL WRONG!! These formations are INVARIABLY volcanic basalt that cools down at such a rate, that hexagonal columnar structures form. Other examples are: Giant's Causeway in Ireland; Devil's Postpile near the crest of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains; various spots around California's Mount Lassen; and, various places in Oregon's Outback.

This is a good example of why these types of videos should be for entertainment purposes only.
Panska Scala is not sandstone. Those are basalt columns.

That moment when he said the rock was 35 million years old I laughed so hard☀️

Lived on Okinawa for 5 years. I can tell you that Tatami Ishi is nowhere near the Iya Valley in Tokushima rather it is on Kumejima, an island in Okinawa Prefecture, a good 1, 400 km from the Iya Valley. Once again, the formation is volcanic basalt rather than sandstone as stated.

And there are some geologic structures that dwarf even the biggest human engineering

In New York state we call these pot holes mostly found on roadways !!

[lighthousenut]

The tatami-ishi formations are not sandstone, they are basalt.

Chat bot narration on this video.. funny how robots don't need to breath 😂

I know that voice, that's the Simple History guy!

#11 . . . There were ERRONEOUS scenes of the Artist's Palettes site, in California's Death Valley National Park.

Looks like a tree stump that looks like plant fiber

You erroneously call the gypsum crystals as frozen ice in the first scene, and then later you say the crystals were left after the water evaporated. The water was pumped out by the minors. To say the underground water evaporated is absurd if you think about it, which you did not. FACT CHECK your word salad!

3 and a half billion years? We can't even fathom that. You've been lied to. Genesis tells you all you need to know my friend. God created some amazing things! What a mighty God!!

NO MILLIONS NOTHING. NOR WIND EROSION. DRAIN OFF FROM NOAHS FLOOD, STOP THE LIES,

[honodle]

It's pronounced 'check - ee - ya' not 'chech'. The people who have lived in that part of the world have always called themselves CZECH (check) not 'chech'.
