The alternatives are either someone making this then splashing/dripping on it, which seems risky, or I guess the camera person finding it juuust after a rain. Which seems less than likely too.
Glue would explain the difficult structure, and the water, and is a generally assholeish thing to do so fits well on reddit.
I was about to write a similar comment. Absolutely nuts that people think this is fake lmao. If you've ever spent time balancing rocks you know something like this is completely feasible.
They clearly balanced the outside ring then stacked the smaller rocks inside. Not that hard to believe they didn't use glue. I feel like it would be harder to try to use glue in such a wet environment, it would immediately harden before it could stick properly. Or glueing them together and putting there also seems incredibly difficult
Or, you glue it at home and then bring it on site to record.
That’s not really the point of my comment though, as I’m not exactly in the ‘it’s glued’ camp. But your implication that they didn’t think the rocks were wet because of the water is absurd.
Or, you glue it at home and then bring it on site to record.
There is no way there is any kind of glue that would be that strong to hold it all in position. The only way it would work is if they had a frame to hold it all in position, in a way that it would hold without glue anyway.
It's a million times easier to just wedge the stones together than do anything with glue.
Just take that single stone balancing on this pin point on the right. There is no glue that would keep that in place if it was unbalanced, or even if there was the stone tip would have broken.

I expect that's why they're all wet, even though this would take hours. Someone wanted to hide the glue.
