Could Basalt Structures Really Be GIANT TREE Stumps?

This video is a response to some of the incredible claims made by you-tuber Людин Рɣси in his video "There are no forests on Flat Earth Wake Up" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHkiZNT3cyE)

In this video, we investigate the possibility that columnar basalt columns are actually the vascular fibers of ancient giant trees. We will take a scientific approach to this idea, and see what we can uncover about the true origins of columnar basalt.

We hadn't intended on making a video about this, but I will personally admit I was totally consumed by the idea that there were once massive trees here on earth when I first seen Людин Рɣси's video. As always, we did what scientist's do: research. This video is a result of that research.
