Monolith Appears at Seven Magic Mountains, Sparks Removal Efforts

A mysterious 12-foot-tall monolith appeared overnight at the Seven Magic Mountains art installation near Las Vegas, featuring a QR code linked to a cryptocurrency website. The Nevada Museum of Art, which co-produced the installation, stated that the structure was placed without permission and they are working to have it removed. This incident follows a similar occurrence in June 2024, when another monolith was discovered near Gass Peak, which was also promptly removed by authorities. The museum has not identified those responsible for this latest installation, raising questions about the impact on public spaces. Monoliths have been reported globally since late 2020, with many being removed shortly after their discovery due to concerns about environmental effects. The ongoing trend continues to captivate public interest and speculation regarding their purpose and origin.
