The Weird Monoliths Are Back

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Remember a few years back when weird monoliths started appearing exactly like 2001: A Space Odyssey? Well, they’re Back.

Back in 2020 at the height of COVID, someone discovered a metal monolith in a remote area of the Utah desert.

Then days later an almost identical object to the Utah monument was discovered in Romania near an ancient fortress and archaeological site in the city of Piatra Neamt.

In fact, too many were appearing to keep track of as the craze went viral.

Then they seemed to stop.

Until earlier this year when one was found in Wales:

A strange and gigantic steel monolith was recently spotted on a hill in Wales — one of several mysterious Toblerone-like structures that have popped up around the globe in recent years.
