A monolith has been seen in a park in Ahmedabad and local residents are going crazy over it. Monoliths have been detected in many places around the world and it is the first time a monolith has been reported in India.
What exactly is a monolith?
A monolith is said to be a geological feature that has only one solid stone or rock. It could be a mountain or indeed a single large piece of rock that is placed as or within a building or monument. Many metallic monoliths have been detected in all countries. The one in India also has a metal sculpture.
Where is it in India and what does it look like?
The monolith can reportedly be seen at the Symphony Forest Park, which is located in the Thaltej region of Ahmedabad. The structure is said to be surrounded by various urban development projects. It has a shiny metal surface and the sides have formed a three-sided structure. According to a report by The Indian Express, one of the sides has some numbers that can only be seen if you look closely. These numbers are likely to have some clue as to wildlife and nature protection, the report noted. But the exact meaning of these numbers will only reveal itself over time.
Who put the monolith?
Citing Dilipbhai Patel, deputy director of parks and gardens at the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation, the report says that the park was developed and maintained by a private company and that it was installed there only by the company. The company completed work on the park three months ago. The artist who installed the monolith wanted to remain anonymous and hopes that the sculpture’s beauty will evoke conversations and understand its essence. It is also expected to involve thought.
Where else have these types of monoliths emerged?
Similar sculptures have been reported in more than 30 countries and in Colombia, the United Kingdom, France, Romania and even near a remote canyon in Utah. According to media reports, these structures mysteriously appear and disappear. Many people have thrown multiple stories in order to make sense of such existences. While some have suggested that these are put in by artists, there are other mysterious hypotheses that link metallic monoliths to the presence of aliens.
