Devils Tower is a prominent, 1,267-foot-tall igneous rock formation in northeastern Wyoming, designated as America's first national monument in 1906. It is a sacred site for Native American tribes, who call it "Bear Lodge" and have legends about its formation involving giant bears. Geologists believe it formed when magma cooled underground, and erosion over millions of years exposed the dramatic, columnar structure | Tim Curtis

Devils Tower was declared America’s first national monument in 1906 — but its name carries controversy. Native tribes had long called it “Bear Lodge,” a sacred site tied to ancient legends. A translation error turned it into “Bad God’s Tower,” later shortened to “Devils Tower.” Many tribes still seek to restore its original name, honoring its true spiritual meaning and history. #devilstower #nationalmonument #mindblown #factsyoudidntknow #viralfacts #AncientHistory #history #nerdstheories | Nerd
