Mysterious 10-Foot Monolith Pops Up On Welsh Hill

[Mythopoeika]

This is the most exciting thing to happen here since the town hall speech by 'the man who almost shook Alvin Stardust's hand'

I shook Buzz Aldrin's hand back in the 80s. I am available for speeches and junkets.

Supposedly this monolith In Wales is still a big mystery with no one claiming responsibility.

Interestingly supposedly when originally found there were no tire tracks, no footprints, no sign of someone putting the monolith in the ground.

Anyone have any theories ?

There’s more metal in the ground, which has clearly been exposed by those keen to check its foundations. These appear to keep it weighted and upright, but even then it is blowing about in the wind.

Interest aspect of this artifact. It does make it seem like someone could carry it in. I'm surprized no one has dug it up yet and put it in their living room. Perhaps the ceilings are too low to fit it. In any case, it seems to be a case of WILD random sculpting.

Shaped like a giant Toblerone

If only it really was chocolate . . .

My pet hate (at the moment), putting "wild" in front of everything to make your activity sound more hard-core than what everyone else is doing. Wild camping, wild swimming, wild hiking... or as I like to call them camping, swimming and hiking. I can stretch to outdoor swimming and wilderness hiking (but the latter only if it really is wilderness, I'm not talking about Exmoor!)

Right now I could go in for some wild napping . . .

That looks very similar if not identical to the ones that appeared in various parts of the US a few years ago.

It has been reported that construction worker Craig Muir claims he walks the 2,221 foot Hay Bluff Hill almost daily and he has never seen any car tracks or ground out of place.

So are we looking at aliens ?

Probably not - these things are hollow so fairly light in weight. Would’ve had to be carried there from the nearest road. Looking it up it seems to be around 3k from the nearby car park though, with some moderate climbing involved so they put a bit of effort into getting it there. Must be at least 2 people involved, maybe more.

The Hay-on-Wye community Facebook Bulletin claims no one has claimed responsibility but strangely the consensus of the citizens seems to be no one cares and would feel sad if this monolith was taken down.

I found a singular coincidence: the approximate point where the monolith should be located and the area of the Carnac monoliths represent a vertical axis (which also coincides with the "Menhirs de Kergornec"):

No.
