Columnar Basalt

-
 
When a thick lava flow  cools it contracts vertically but cracks perpendicular to its directional flow  with remarkable geometric regularity - in most cases forming a regular grid of  remarkable hexagonal extrusions that almost appear to be made by man. One of the  most famous such examples is the Giant’s Causeway on the coast of  Ireland(shown above) though  the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. Basalt also  forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air  or water.

The main tool for understanding this plan is the Mayan calendar.The truth about the Mayan calendar is really not difficult to understand. The problem is only that we have all been conditioned by a materialist mind that makes us look for the ultimate explanations in the material reality rather than in the divine plan.
