There were spaces by the visitor center at 8. Upon entering, had to stop at the massive prairie dog fields. In any event, we left our hotel in Custer around 5:30 a.m. Staying close by means beating the heat by arriving early, as well as having a place to use the restroom. This area of the country has daylight at 5:30 a.m. Having recently visited with serious heat and sun, I recommend the strategy of staying as close as you can to each monument. We'll leave it to the reader to consider if they needed any help with that.We stayed in Custer, as we were seeing other sights in and around Rapid City in June 2021, including the Badlands.īTW, I do not recommend the strategy of a central base and then driving out each day. A Russian operative, perhaps, posing as a Crimean man, trying to stir up flat-Earthers to see what the most outrageous thing he could make them believe was. Of course, there's always the chance the whole idea was Poe's law in action. What if a giant pine cone falls in America? Other than the destruction it would do, would it set the flat Earth disk spinning? And what would happen if a strong wind sets these trees swaying? There's an issue of balance and distribution, for one thing. There are also consequences of this theory that have failed to be addressed, as it would be rather worrying to have a giant tree on a flat disk. It has no obvious link to the idea that Earth is not the globe we know it to be and is instead, against all probability and evidence, a flat disk. That “claim” actually came from a satirical page, which is an excellent example of Poe’s law in action.Īmong the many perplexing aspects of this conspiracy is why this theory is discussed in flat-Earther circles. The video has been debunked many times by many outlets including Snopes, which has also debunked the claim famous flattop mountain national monument, Wyoming's Devil’s Tower, had a system of roots. For example, one is a living organic thing made of mostly carbon and the other is an inorganic non-living thing made of minerals. There are some important fundamental differences between trees and rocks, as an arborist helpfully points out for Quartz. The video claims all rock on Earth is not rock, it is the rubble left behind of these ancient leafy behemoths, and flattop mountains are just the severed stumps of trees that were destroyed in the earlier cataclysmic event. Formerly known as Ayers Rock, and not a giant tree stump. Uwe Arana/Shutterstock (Material and size, of course, are quite important, rather fundamental differences used to differentiate objects.) Uluru, in Australia's Northern Territory. Because they look the same, they must be the same, it suggests, since the only difference is material and size. The video shows images of Uluru in Australia, the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and the Devil's Tower butte in Wyoming, USA next to pictures of real tree stumps, asking viewers to spot the difference. It suggests geological features like buttes, mountains, plateaus, and mesas (flattop mountains) are actually the remains of these ancient trees. If you are looking for evidence of these ancient giant trees, the video offers it up in abundance. The video claims that thousands of years ago a cataclysmic event destroyed 99 percent of Earth’s biosphere, and it took with it the “real forests”. Although the original video has since been removed, the theory lives on in other spin-off videos (here's the English-language dubbed version if you are curious). The video has been watched hundreds of thousands of time. This “theory” goes back to a video on YouTube posted in 2016 by a Crimean man calling himself ?, whose account is now deactivated.
