Another Monolith Like The One In Utah Is Found In Romania

There are some things that make their way into the news and we sometimes wonder if they are just there to frustrate and frighten us. In fact, the news outlets tend to focus on those items because the negative news pulls people in and keeps them watching. In turn, the news outlet makes more money because their ratings increase. Although that is typically the way the news works, there are also some stories that are just too good in an amazing way to ignore. I think this is one of those stories.

It started not that long ago when a large metal monolith was discovered in the desert in Utah. It was an amazing find and people were wondering what it was all about. It seems as if the plot is now thickening because they have found another monolith that is almost identical to the first one. It wasn’t in the same area, however, it was halfway around the world in a historic area of Romania. Perhaps the most interesting part is that the original monolith was removed by an unknown source in Utah just before this new one appeared. They found the new pillar on Batca Doamnei Hill in the city of Piatra Neamt in the country’s northeastern Neamt County.

The monolith was located beside the Dacian fortress Petrodava, built about 2,000 years ago. It is the oldest historical monument in that area of Romania. The fortress was likely burned down by the Romans in the 2nd century AD.

Rocsana Josanu is a Neamt Culture and Heritage official, who said: “We have started looking into the strange appearance of the monolith. It is on private property, but we still don’t know who the monolith’s owner is yet. It is in a protected area on an archaeological site. Before installing something there, they needed permission from our institution, one that must then be approved by the Ministry of Culture.”
