Mysterious metal monolith appears at ancient temple site in Turkey
Similar structures have appeared around the world since late 2020.
A metal monolith has appeared in southeastern Turkey. Similar mysterious structures grabbed headlines across the world late last year.
The pillar stands at 3 meters (9.8 feet) tall and 1 meter (3.2 feet) wide. It is located at the Gobeklitepe archaeological site in the southeastern Anatolia region near the Syrian border. The authorities are currently investigating where it came from and have yet to find out its origin, the state-run Anadolu News Agency reported on Sunday.
Gobeklitepe is an an ancient temple recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage Site.
The structure’s appearance follows similar instances around the world. In November, a large, metallic, column-like structure appeared in the desert in the southwestern American state of Utah and then disappeared. Days later, a similar structure appeared in California. A metallic monolith also showed up in Romania in eastern Europe days after the Utah one and then vanished.
