Get outta here with that nonsense. That is flat earth levels of bologna. Igneous rock has natural cleavage and basaltic structures can easily form that kind of cellular, hexagonal, or columnar formation shape. Look at The Giant's Causeway as another example. The Earth and its massive movements are a force of nature and there is far more information to plausibly try to explain how Devil's Tower formed millions of years ago versus the fictional sounding, non-scientific enigma that is your "old tree" misdirection.

Interesting. I remember seeing massive trunks in a Russian documentary now that you pointed this out, but I never even thought about it or realized these were a thing

Thanks! A new puzzle piece for me :)

Been there and it's not a tree
