Alien-looking ants nest - filled with concrete then excavated (video)

Unfortunately the video only shows what it looked like when they were part of the way through the excavation, and doesn't give a really good sense of its overall shape.

    actually, the video linked to from that is a longer one - with more introductory stuff leading up to the bit where you see the nest.
