I do not want to say if it is natural or man-made and I have no evidence to prove either direction and to what it seems neither does the man making this video. It feels like 13 minutes of a man hoping to find answers without the proper training to discern what he is looking at. Again I want to reiterate that I am not saying what he is claiming, to be false. I am only saying he doesn't give any actual geologic reasons to prove or disprove either side of the argument.

What about when he said something to the effect of 'it looks man made'? 

Sounds like evidence to me.

Ive seen that. Guy is definitely looking for shit that is not there in a major way. 1 chat with a geologist and he could easily be informed, but my guess is he is willfully ignorant so it doesn't mess up the fallacy he is living.

Agreed. People do this all the time, especially with politics. They prefer to believe that which they prefer to be true.

As someone with only a minor in Geology, I can say this is clearly the natural result of batholith exposure and glaciation and not a prehistoric Monolith. It’s a fairly common occurrence. This guy needs to do more studying and less thinking.

It’s youtube click bait, the speculation is what makes people click on it.

Title might be click bait, but is it bait if they really believe it?
If you watch this fools vids, he 100% thinks ancient civilizations or aliens "made" just about every cool rock formation there is.

In the end though, I watched because I was more drawn to see what kind of ridiculous claims he would make....I think I done bamboozled myself.

People act stupid on YouTube because stupid people love stupid shit. If he believes it or not is irrelevent.

Look for continuity of crystals across junctions. Not difficult to do...

It's a sacred rock, and you mustn't even look at it, not even videos of it.
