Giant ant colony

Amazing giant ant colony. What is the easiest way to reveal the inner structure of a gigantic, subterranean colony of grass cutter ants? One way is to fill it up with cement (10 tons were needed), wait a month until it hardens, and dig out the negative of the whole structure. Well done.

Update: I have corrected the facts.
