The Miraculous Process
The final structure truly shows that the molten aluminum poured on top of the hill makes way through each and every channel ultimately reaching the chambers. It is after the metal gets cooled that the artist is able to present before us the thing you can see in the image. Seeing the accurate way these casts depict the channels in an ant hill they have become quite useful for teaching students the meticulousness with which ants live underground. Obviously, the reason for the structure being of the color you can see in the image is the aluminum metal poured earlier.
