Because of worries about the potential harm that tourists could cause to the surrounding natural environment, authorities in the Las Vegas area removed an enigmatic monolith from the desert north of the city.
Approximately 20 miles north of Las Vegas in the Gass Peak area, the 77-inch-tall sheet metal building was found earlier this month. It was fastened with concrete and rebar.
Social media users were informed by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department that the monolith was taken down late last week “due to public safety and environmental concerns.”
According to the agency, the strange item “is being stored at an undisclosed location while public authorities determine the most appropriate way to dispose of or store the item.”
The police stated “it remains unknown how the item got to its location or who might be responsible.”
The column reminded me of other monoliths like it that were found in 2020 in places like Utah, California, Las Vegas, Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Romania, and the Isle of Wight in England.

Several of the U.S.-based monoliths were eventually credited to an unidentified art collective called The Most Famous Artist.
Earlier this year, on Hay Bluff, close to Hay-on-Wye, Wales, another monolith was discovered. We don’t know where that structure came from.
