Another metal structure similar to the Utah monolith was found thousands of kilometers away in northern Romania on November 26 when a person jogging in the area stumbled upon it.

The mysterious monolith is located, in particular, on the Batca Doamnei hill, in the city of Piatra Neamt.

The structure is very similar to the one that would have been set up in the Utah desert: it is about four meters high, made of polished metal, and has a triangular section.

The speculations and theories on its origin do not cease, as one of its faces is directed to Mount Ceahlau, which historians and anthropologists consider a sacred mountain and refuge of Zalmoxis (ancient God of the Dacians).
