    What do you mean “solved”?

    We know an Irishman built it to go fight a Scotsman, saw the size of him and went home, then tore it up so the Scots couldn’t get to Ireland easily.

      Other way around, the Scot / Benandonner is the one who tore up the causeway when Fionn tricked him.

    It was still created by a volcanic event but it took much less time to form than previously thought.

    Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway is a sight to behold…

    Then maybe they should have put a picture in the damn article!

      So weird because Lemmy shows the thumbnail of one.

        That’s what makes it worse. They have a picture, there’s also tons of public free use pics, and they still couldn’t put a damn pic in their article.
