An incredible video of ‘natural trophy’ made by pouring molten aluminium into an ‘abandoned’ ants nest has resurfaced on the internet. The video shared by IFS Officer Susanta Nanda shows a person pouring boiling metal into fire ants nest in a bid to create beautiful art.
According to an international media outlet, David Gatlin, the man behind creating ‘pure magic’, said that the ant colonies have thousands of interconnected tunnels and chambers. Gatlin reportedly said that he pours aluminium into anthills and lets it harden. The sculpture is then excavated and blasted with water in a bid to remove dirt and impurities. Once the boiling metal is dried and cleaned, a Christmas-tree-like sculpture is formed.
They don’t have ears & lungs. Other than humans, they are the only farmers & slave makers. As old as dinosaurs, there are one million ants for every 1 human in the world🤔
