Basalt towers in New South Wales A basalt column is one solid piece of basalt rock, and basalt is just lava that has cooled and turned into stone. Millions of years ago, parts of New South Wales were shaped by volcanic activity. This happened mainly during the Cenozoic era (roughly 60–10 million years ago) when hot spots and movements in Earth’s crust allowed magma to rise and erupt at the surface. 📹australiahiddengems

According to science, there are approximately 40,000 predominantly hexagonal basalt columns that formed 60 million🧐 years ago. The rapid cooling of thick volcanic lava caused the rock to contract, creating perfect geometric fractures. Legend has it that the Irish giant Finn McCool built a stone causeway to Scotland to confront his rival, Benandonner. Upon approaching, he was horrified to see a colossal baby. In reality, what he saw was his opponent, whom his wife had disguised as an infant. This led the Irish giant to think that if the "son" was that size, he could only imagine how huge the father must be; he fled in a panic, destroying the path behind him.😅

Made with Kling AI text2img: A teenage Asian girl with her dog stands in the middle of an abandoned city, facing away from us. She gazes at a towering, otherworldly tree, its trunk and branches formed by countless human figures seamlessly intertwined, as if frozen in time. Their expressions are calm, almost serene, as they stretch toward the sky. She wears a worn backpack, rain lightly falling around him, adding to the moody, cinematic, and mysterious atmosphere. The green grass beneath the tree contrasts with the eerie yet mesmerizing scene, rich with quiet, surreal beauty. img2vid: Slow push-in. The creature writhe unnaturally. The girl and the dog remain still.

A cliffside bookstore has been built inside a massive limestone sinkhole in Guangxi China. Set in the Mianhua Tiankeng it sits inside a karst collapse feature formed over thousands of years as underground caves eroded and caved in leaving sheer vertical limestone walls. Bookshelves and walkways are built directly into the rock face with the natural geology still dominating the space layered limestone steep drops and a huge hollow basin carved by water over time.

President Biden also created the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument, protecting over 224,000 acres of otherworldly and spectacular landscape in northern California. At the new monument’s core sits the Medicine Lake Volcano, a massive dormant volcano that has fostered a dramatic landscape dotted with cinder cones, volcanic craters, spatter cones, and hundreds of cave-like lava tubes. The Sáttítla Highlands include the ancestral homelands of and are sacred to the Pit River Tribe and Modoc Peoples. The monument will be managed by the Department of Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service.

Most people dream of visiting Iceland once in their lifetimes. I have been lucky enough to visit multiple times, and this is probably my 6th time here. Iceland is an odd place. It is geologically still very young, only about 15 million years old. It kind of resembles planet Earth 2-3 billion years ago, when volcanic rock dominated the surface, long before forests and animals existed. This is because it sits directly atop two tectonic plates pulling apart and the land is continually reshaped by emerging lava. So, most of Iceland is covered by moss, which is the among the first forms of life that can colonize harsh volcanic rock without any real layer of soil. It really really feels like an alien planet and maybe that is why I make an annual pilgrimage to this island almost every December. I landed here today and like every other time, I can’t help but feel awestruck by the unbounded vastness once you hit the road.

🌕💥 The Moon Just Took a Direct Hit A space rock slams into the Moon’s surface at incredible speed, producing a sudden flash of light as the impact violently disturbs the lunar terrain. With virtually no atmosphere to slow incoming objects, the Moon is constantly exposed to meteoroids. Over billions of years, countless impacts have carved the cratered landscape we see today. Most impacts happen unnoticed, but catching one in real time is exceptionally rare. This brief flash offers a remarkable glimpse of the Moon still being shaped by the relentless activity of space. A split-second event… with billions of years of cosmic history behind it. 🌌

Flare Network TVL is up more than 325%... Since April 28, 2025, (a little over a year ago), Flare ☀️'s TVL has seen insane growth. Over the period, its total value locked has climbed from just $37.09 million to some $157.72 million at time of writing, per DefiLlama data. The surge in adoption may have been catalysed by $FLR's increasing offerings centred around $XRP, allowing it to tap into Ripple's massive and loyal community.

ARAB ONLY ENYRY INTO THE CAVE OF THE PATRIARCHS, BUILT BY JEWS, CENTURIES BEFORE ISLAM 📍Hebron — Today, MK Tzvi Succot entered the Muslim-only Isaac Hall inside the Cave of the Patriarchs and demanded full Jewish access. What most people don’t know: 🔹 The massive stone structure wasn’t built by Muslims, it was built by King Herod over 2,000 years ago, nearly 700 years before Islam existed. 🔹 It marks the burial of Abraham & Sarah, Isaac & Rebecca, Jacob & Leah, the fathers and mothers of the Jewish nation. 🔹 Centuries later, Muslims added minarets and turned it into a mosque, erasing its Jewish origin, a pattern seen across many Jewish and Christian holy sites. 🔹 The land was purchased by Abraham himself for 400 silver shekels, the first recorded Jewish land purchase in history. This is the foundation of Jewish history and should be open to Jews, without restrictions. Do you agree? Stay connected, follow, subscribe Mossad Commentary.

In 1306, Robert the Bruce murdered a rival at a church altar, was crowned King of Scotland, and promptly lost everything. The English crushed his army, captured his wife and daughters, and hung three of his brothers. Bruce fled into hiding, a fugitive king with no army, no allies, and no throne. For months, he survived in caves and on remote islands, hunted by the most powerful military in Europe. But he refused to disappear. He came back with guerrilla raids, picking off English garrisons one by one. Eight years later, at Bannockburn, his 6,500 men faced 18,000 English soldiers, and destroyed them. Scotland won its independence. Not because Bruce was unbeatable, but because he was impossible to finish.

The Fairy Glen; Isle of Skye - Scotland : Isle of Skye, largest and northernmost of major islands in Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Hidden in the hills of Uig, above the sweeping sides of Glen Conon, the enchanting geographical formations that form Balnaknock, Fairy Glen (Bail nan cnoc in Gaelic, meaning village in the hills) has gained this special miniature landscape on Skye a reputation for being a place of myth and wonder. Described by some as a mini-Quiraing, this small and magical feature of the Island, dotted with gnarled rowan trees, was formed over 100,000 years ago by post-Glacier landslides, while years of erosion and the elements sculpted the Torridonian sandstone into unusual patterns of cone-shaped craggy hillocks, random boulders, tranquil lochans and even a basalt castle. Island has been occupied since Mesolithic Period (7th Millennium BC), and its history includes a time of Celtic and arrival of Scandinavian settlers. Island was settled by Gaelic-speaking Scots from Ireland during 1st Centuries BC. Norsemen ruled island from 9th-12th Century CE. Thereafter, while kingdom of Scotland claimed island, Lords of Isles maintained independent control of Hebrides until 15th Century CE. Dunvegan Castle, home of MacLeods, chief clan of Skye, was built in 9th Century CE, and has been occupied longer than any other house in Scotland. Island was considered to be under Norwegian sovereignty until 1266 CE, Treaty of Perth which transferred control over to Scotland. Crofting system (small-scale tenant farming, mainly for subsistence), still widespread. During late 18th - early 19th Centuries CE, poverty of crofters was extreme and large numbers were forced to emigrate. Improvements came after passage of Small Landholders (Scotland) Acts, 1886–1911 CE, and subsequent introduction of government subsidies for growing potatoes and raising cattle and sheep. Sea fishing industry, once a mainstay of economy, has declined, but commercial fish farming, particularly of salmon, now an important part of local economy. Diatomite industry also has died, but a smoky, peaty single-malt Scotch whisky is distilled at Carbost, and this product as well as spectacular rugged scenery keep tourism a major industry. Portree, largest settlement, lies at head of a fine harbour on eastern coast. Gaelic is spoken by about one-third of islanders. 🎥© joebhall_ (IG) #archaeohistories
