It’s not that hard to fold sheet metal into three sides. I’m not sure why these are notable in any way at this point.
i can’t speak to all of the monoliths that have been erected. but this one seems unusual because it was “near Gass Peak in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge” (not a location that is easily accessible by car) and it was “made of folded sheet metal and held together with rebar and concrete, authorities said.”
That sounds heavier than one or two people could just carry on their own, but maybe I’m overestimating that.
One was right at the end of a car road. Another, it says 4 people were needed to dismantle it. But even for the more inaccessible places, there is also helicopters.
It’s either:
- An artist with a friend at the local newspaper
- Guerrilla advertising
If it’s advertising, what is it advertising?
Guerrillas
According to the website MonolithTracker.com, there have been a total of 245 monoliths reported worldwide since late 2020.
That’s some dedication. I wonder how it compares to crop circles.
