How on earth does this have over 3k views but only 108 likes (inc mine)? How can anyone not like this? Even the music is beautiful, spiritual even. When I see vids of landscapes like this, I am moved to tears, wondering how this terrain once looked, who are we really and why is the truth being withheld! I feel honoured to have been invited as a guest to share your awesome travels and discovery! This was incredible! Thank you so much my friend. x

What a cool ass rock, regardless of its past it certainly is a modern wonder!! The wall looks a little to much like a WALL for me to think natural geology did that. The giant rock looks like a petrified stump. It also looks very similar to a stump that broke off and decayed over time. With the legends of a water wall consuming the land over a mile high it’s the only thing i could think of that would break such a grand tree.
