I was disappointed that no mention was made as to how they emerged. Did they crawl out of the forest? Hitch a ride? Get beamed down?
Looks as though they were merely found in said forest, which is still interesting, all in all.
I saw that in the headline, too, and thought it was hilarious: “the pillars emerged from the forest.” On their own two feet? On horseback? Was it in daylight or - spooky! - after dark?
