“The structure received national and international interest and sparked a dialogue regarding who installed it and what it symbolized, generating widespread attention,” reads a BLM press release. 

Since the viral mystery began meme makers have been busy.

Social influencers and even large companies are getting creative and sharing their own monolith discoveries:

The monolith was even given the honor of giving a TEDTalk.

The monolith apparently even made it way over to India, replacing the Taj mahal.

Budweiser decided to reveal the true nature of the monolith.

Tetris joined in on the fun with four monoliths.

However others may interpret the strange structure, one thing is for sure, to truly understand the monolith you must embody it first, “BE the monolith!” shares Spongebob Squarepants.
