there's a video where they do something like this and they get a 20 meters tall sculpture or something.

That is this video.

I thought that was the one that they did with cement using some ant or termite species in some equatorial region.

I love how instead of coming up with some cool, sonic mapping device or some other method of mapping out the ant colony is...nah fuck it, let's just pour burning hot aluminium down it!!!

It's kind of hard to "map" something when the ants themselves will come up as obstructions.
Although it would be interesting to see the colonies from the actual inside.

easier and more cost efficient

ants are going to take over the world

Going to?
They already outnumber humans in sheer mass, let alone numbers.

You know, they actually might have something to say about this. Remember when they got pissed off because obama squashed a fly..
yo, this dude is an [I]ant expert[/I], if he wants to pour some liquid aluminum on some ants he has more right than me to
I guess it could be possible to put a micro camera through the tunnels

you would see the tunnels from the inside but that wouldn't do a very good job of mapping them or giving them a sense of scale, i would guess
I'd buy one of those

Loadsa images of ant colonies after they've been unearthed.
And then the ants crawl out, with bodies made of Aluminium.
God help us all.

Imagine bullet ants made of lead.
Ant apocalypse.

Forget bees, ant-based weaponry is the bountiful future.

I wonder what they did with that once they finished excavating it.

they get angry over people killing the zerg in starcraft.
so at this rate the ant aluminum thing is the equivalent to the holocaust.

Here is a longer one. Of the video before.
