Thank you for this video. I recently visited Devils Tower and couldn't get it out of my mind. Thanks!

It's not volcanic at all it's a ancient tree stump Titans and giants used to live here the gods and titans fought in a 100 year war then the great flood happened drowning all the giants and titans and huge creatures petrified and turned into our mountains and other land formations lost history were taught to forget but still in our collective memories 💯

I beleive thats an old solidified tree stump from an ancient tree that grew out of a hot spring area that was later destroyed by magma.

[@SpookyGeology]

Nope. It’s absolutely not a tree stump. See the related video. Why would you “believe” a baseless idea pushed by non experts when there is considerable evidence that shows that it’s clearly a volcanic intrusion?

[@rhondagilbert-puketapu6246]

Just because they are “experts” doesn’t mean they are always right and they “know everything “ anyone with a PHD will tell you “they know nothing” well a honest one would. That’s your opinion on the Mountains but others have there’s. Seems logical to me it could be a giant Tree stump, could have formed thousands if not millions of years ago. Anything after could have happened or changed overtime. You mention it yourself “Rock or Giant Tree Stump” in Indigenous Myths. Contradicting yourselves much?

[@SpookyGeology]

"Knowledge" can be different based on cultural background. But that's not what we're talking about here. We are talking about how nature actually works, not what you may believe to be true. It can be definitively demonstrated that this is NOT a tree stump but a volcanic feature. Nowhere did I say that the natives said it was a tree stump, I said it was a goofy internet belief. Natives had the bear lodge interpretation. Please pay attention before commenting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqivmap9gJtqhLc

@@rhondagilbert-puketapu6246 Keep arguing with geologists on geology Rhonda while easily believing some blog post that soccer mom Stacy posted on Facebook. It's more then we'll proven at this point but the earth is flat, the moon is fake and scientists are government spies right?

[@Jagueyes1]

Lava does not and can not take on hexagonal shapes after it settles and dries. It is a giant tree that was cut down and the petrified giant wood chips lay around it. The root system should prove it is what remains of an enormous tree.

[@SpookyGeology]

How would a 'giant tree' get water from a "root system" when the aquifer system is, at most, 600 feet down? How would you explain that we have magma (this wasn't lava) that cooled in place that we have observed that cools and shrinks in an angular format as dictated by physics? Nevermind... You are incorrect on all counts in your comments. Please don't opine about things you clearly know nothing about.

I see a lot of ppl came from tik tok . Luckily I don’t have one lol

I'd say there's no such thing as spooky geology, just good old pareidolia.

[@armcontrol6933]

why call it devil's tower?? why not God's tower?

[@SpookyGeology]

As with many "devil" names, it was called that by people who thought everything that was sacred to the Natives was of the devil. How about the First Nation name instead?

Any person that has common sense will tell you that it's a petrified tree million years old!

[@SpookyGeology]

Why? What’s the evidence? Why do you think “common sense” (looking at silly speculative videos on TikTok) is better than the actual observed and corresponding evidence around the world? Hmm?

bruh you know this video has some bs in it when 4:03 says the little girls stood on a rock and prayed for it to save them and it shot up in the sky. like wtf

[@SharonHill]

That’s the story! I’m not saying it’s true. I’m trying to give you the lore so you might respect what the natives believed.

[@l-rxmxn-l1374]

This is the story that the native Americans used, she’s not saying that’s how it was formed…
