Uluru rock. Pasty heaps or a mud volcano?

After the article was published Underground leaching of metals and megaliths as waste of paste thickening of rocks I did not think that there would be material confirming this version of the origin of megalithic objects. I believe that the information presented below is a continuation and confirmation of this topic. I propose to take a different look at the geologically unusual object in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia.

As mentioned above, this unusual place is a National Park. Apparently, it's like in Russia - nature reserves, where construction and geological surveys are prohibited. Since 1977 Uluru is a part of the biosphere reserve of national and world importance, which is included in the UNESCO list. In 1987 the reserve was ranked among the monuments of world importance. Since October 26, 1985, Uluru has officially belonged to the Anangu tribe, although the stone giant was leased to the government for a period of 99 years to be used as a national park.

According to the official geological information, the rock Uluru (Ayrs Rock) (English Uluru) - was formed about 680 million years ago in the region of Central Australia - the southernmost administrative region of the Northern Territory in the center of the continent, 450 km southwest of the city of Alice Springs. 18 km north of Uluru is the resort town of Yulara (English) with a recreation and tourist service area, on the border of which the Ayrs Rock airport is built.

Uluru is 3.6 km long, about 3 km wide, and 348 meters high. The base is indented with caves decorated with ancient cave paintings and stone carvings. It is covered with parallel furrows up to 2 m deep. According to the myths of the aborigines, the owner of the mountain, the water python, once lived here. And on a steep slope lived a black monitor lizard. Aborigines perform rituals at the sacred rock.

The monolith of the rock consists of gray coarse-grained arkose sandstone, which is formed due to the destruction of granites. Analysis showed the presence of feldspar, quartz and iron oxides in it. But this is not granite, but only sandstone similar to granite in chemical and mineral composition.

It is iron that gives the array its "rusty" color. The unique mountain giant consists of red sandstone, the special properties of which allow it to change color depending on the lighting during the day. Tourists began to visit this place only in 1950, after the completion of the construction of a highway through the area in which Uluru is located.

Well, we took the official information into account and we will begin our review in the light of the version about underground leaching of metals and that megaliths are wastes of paste thickening of rocks. All the details for this version can be found at the link at the beginning of the article. In short, the essence of the topic boils down to the following. Some intelligent forces (space watchmen or previous civilizations of the Earth) drilled wells, filled it with a chemical solution, and drove it under pressure. Leaching of metals took place. The necessary was extracted from this slurry, and liquid or paste wastes were stored in megalithic remnants. We can already replicate the first half of this technology in a pitiful likeness with our equipment.

Getting closer, do you see traces of erosion or is it something else?

At first glance, the rock appears to be composed of vertical layers. But this is not the case.

The rock is layered sandstone

Numerous sandstone layers are visible. The rock is very similar to layered slabs.

In the foreground are the remains of thick outer layers of sandstone, which have not yet fallen off and crumbled throughout the entire area of the mountain.

Traces of flowing water are visible. Those. a decent amount of water flows from the top of the cliff. Layers of sandstone are also visible - like scales

On this side, a very strange erosion with an internal layered structure

Sandstone "flakes"

From a geological point of view, it is very unusual for such a rock to rise so high above the plain. And such layers, crossing the entire rock, can be stage-by-stage dumps.

But I do not exclude the version that these parallel tracks are gullies from the waters of the flood.

As I wrote above, a huge amount of water flows from the cliff, waterfalls flow down. This is not the remnants of rainwater, it is just a huge debit of water. And it is from above, not from the foot.

How was this cavity exposed inside the rock? Or was there something there?

In my opinion, this part of the mass slid under its own mass, and from above it was still poured with paste dumps again.

Apparently, the pasta dripped in thicker pieces.

It's hard to call it erosion

Mini waterfalls. I have an assumption that this water flow rate comes from those huge wells (or even many of them - bushes, as the oilmen say), through which the solution was driven and the metals were leached. And it was so deep that underground artesian waters were able to reach the surface through them.

The second version of this whole object: this is the release of water, mud or geo-concrete during a flood. Most of it, of course, was water. Those. it is one of the sources of water and mud, clay deluge from the underground ocean. The water is gone, the remains of the sandstone remain. This photo can confirm this:

Although, pebble could have formed when pumping the solution through the rock.

The Uluru Rock is not everything in this national park. Approximately 50 km. from Uluru is Mount Olga or Mount Olga, height 546 m., an alternative name for the mountain Kata Tjuta, and means "many heads" in the language of the aborigines. Once it was one huge stone monolith, like Uluru, but water and wind turned it into 36 huge separate stones.

The name Olga Mountain refers to the highest peak in this group of mountains. It was given at the request of Baron Ferdinand von Müller in 1872 in honor of the daughter of the Russian Emperor Nicholas I - Grand Duchess Olga, wife of Charles I, King of Württemberg.

The ridge looks like rocks doused with liquid rock

And also water, gravel. Of course, geologists will immediately talk about the bottom of the ancient sea, which reared into these rocks.
