What is the Giant’s Causeway? Giant’s Causeway is a bizarre, bewildering and almost extraterrestrial landscape in Northern Ireland with huge hexagonal stone basalt columns showing up from the pounding Atlantic waves. If you see it, you'll understand why the ancients believed the Giant’s Causeway was not a natural feature but rather the handwork of mighty ancient giants. The legend says that an Irish giant, Finn McCool build a Causeway so he could cross the sea to fight the Scottish giant Benandonner. All that now remains are its ends in Ireland. Another version says it was built by the Fomorians, mysterious and hostile giants coming from under the sea or the earth. In reality the rocks were formed some 60 million years ago by volcanic activity, and they represent an example of columnar basalt. However, there are still people who let their imagination wander and say this Causeway was built by giants or even by aliens. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. Many wonder

Search up Finn McCool, he was actually the hero in the story who built it because the Scottish Giant was much bigger and Finn had to scare him off etc. I can’t remember the whole story but if u search it up then u can find it.

Is it travel able or do we only have photos?

It definitely doesn't look like volcanic phenomenon... .. only way to shape earth like that is by heavy sound wave and vibration.. if not by hand... By machine or a big enough thing to create that heavy thump and sound.. like if u play violin stick on a metal plate and if u put sand on it.. it changes shape with motion... different shapes for different slide up and down and also the placement of the stick..

Well none of us were there.. so we are left to wonder.. I believe the giants part.. but not sure how this landscape occurred

Theres no volcanos around Ireland, maybe 60million years ago!!
