Remember a few years back when weird monoliths started appearing exactly like\u00a02001: A Space Odyssey<\/em>? Well, they\u2019re Back.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in 2020 at the height of COVID, someone\u00a0discovered a metal monolith<\/a>\u00a0in a remote area of the Utah desert.<\/p>\n

It was put down to being some sort of art installation, but it was never really explained how or why someone would travel to such a remote area to do that.<\/p>\n

Pretty soon\u00a0it was removed<\/a>, rather bizarrely by a group of hikers, one of whom reportedly said, \u201cDon\u2019t leave trash in the desert.\u201d<\/p>\n

Was it really hikers though?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

A metal monolith appeared at a scenic spot in northern Romania over the weekend after a similar structure was discovered \u2013 and then disappeared \u2013 in the Utah desert. https:\/\/t.co\/QtC57qC6Hw<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/KF1csiUvu3<\/a><\/p>\n

After the Romanian one disappeared, another one appeared on a hiking trail in California.<\/p>\n

Hikers in Atascadero, California, came across a mysterious metal monolith just a few days after a similar structure was removed from the Utah desert. https:\/\/t.co\/CA7pQNoaa1<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EFosPvfnNz<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact,\u00a0too many were appearing to keep track of<\/a>\u00a0as the craze went viral.<\/p>\n

In 2021, another one was found near Gobeklitepe, a 12,000 year-old temple in Turkey:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Then they seemed to stop.<\/p>\n

Until earlier this year when one was found in Wales:<\/p>\n

A strange and gigantic steel monolith was recently spotted on a hill in Wales \u2014 one of several mysterious Toblerone-like structures that have popped up around the globe in recent years.
