The mysterious metal monolith that recently appeared on a Romanian hilltop was reported disappeared on Tuesday. In fact, nobody knows where it came from, or who put it near the town of Piatra Neamt four days ago.
“The nine-foot-tall structure “disappeared overnight as quietly as it was erected last week. Now all that remains is just a small hole covered by rocky soil,” said journalist Robert Iosub, from the Ziar Piatra Neamt newspaper after seeing the structure.
According to a Daily Star report, the metal monolith before this was found in Romania on November 26. In fact, some claim it may be the same monolith in Utah. While the monolith in Utah was first discovered on November 18 before disappearing on November 27.
The mysterious metal was found a few meters from the archaeological landmark, Petrodava Dacian Fortress which represents the oldest historical monument. It is said to have been destroyed by the Romans but its remains can still be seen in some form on the wall. The monolith faces Mount Ceahlau known as the famous Holy Mountain in Romania and is listed as one of the seven natural wonders of the country.
“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,” said Neamt Culture and Heritage official Rocsana Josanu.
“Before installing something there, they needed permission from our institution, one that must then be approved by the Ministry of Culture,” she added.
A metal monolith appeared at a scenic spot in northern Romania over the weekend after a similar structure was discovered – and then disappeared – in the Utah desert. https://t.co/QtC57qC6Hw pic.twitter.com/KF1csiUvu3
