A mysterious monolith that disappeared shortly after being discovered in a Utah desert captured the nation’s attention last week and sent America’s imagination running: What did it mean? How did it get there? And more importantly,
who put it there?
It is still unclear who placed the sculpture in the remote section of desert, but we do know who dismantled it: a group of Tik Tokers who said they removed the monolith “because there are clear precedents for how we share and standardize the use of our public lands, natural wildlife, native plants, fresh water sources, and human impacts upon them,” the group said in a statement to CNN.
