Have you never taken a geology course? It's totally possible conditions for rocks.
Added: wow, THREE people ignorant of basic geology. You must be Harvard professors. Or flat earth trolls.
I never got a degree in black lesbian interpretive dance, no. Please provide evidence of nature creating exact 90 degree angles in sandstone blocks weighing millions of pounds.
Sure. It is inherent in some rock chemistries to cleave along underlying crystal structures. This is Geo 100 level knowledge. If the underlying structure is cubic, the rocks will split with that tendency.
It's been shown mathematically that pentagonal structure is not possible. So if you found pentagonal splitting, I'd have to say it was unnatural. But cubic is trivial, even salt does that.
Google "What minerals have 90 degree cleavage"
I'll quote from a net search: "By-and-large, cleavages at 90 degrees to one another indicate a cubic form, cleavages at 120 and 60 degrees in the same sample indicate a rhombohedral form, and cleavages at acute to obtuse angles over long surfaces indicate a prismatic form".
I didn't ask about crystals or tiny pieces of halite or shale. I asked you for evidence of perfect cubes of sandstone weighing millions of pounds.
If you have evidence of 20 foot long perfect cubes of sandstone then provide it.
I don't have time to go satisfying your whims, but here's marble fracturing much the same way.

Here's slate cleaving in rectagular chunks too.

As for 20 foot long cubes of sandstone, you yourself showed photos. For me to show more I'd have to crack open your head and take pix of a flat earther brain, sandstone version.
You do know, right, that this area was once underwater, and all this mass was wet and then dried out and may have shrunk and cracked over eons. No, no, wait, aliens made it. yeah.
Yes, ancient aliens came to earth to cleave rocks into cubes to help some tard make youtube videos to provide you proof that little green men exist.
My close personal friend WIll Smith asked if you would look at his flashy pen.
