Back then, a shiny, metal monolith appeared in the Utah desert without explanation, followed by copycats from California to Romania. Perhaps art projects or perhaps the manifestation of pandemic-induced boredom, the monoliths captured the world’s attention for a fleeting moment. Also unlike previous monoliths, this one has an inscription. Gobekli Tepe is the setting for “The Gift,” a Turkish television series whose second season began streaming on Netflix last year. In the cases of at least two earlier monoliths, groups have come forward to claim responsibility, including a group of four artist-fabricators who said they created one in California as “a piece of guerrilla art.” Theories abound about the roots of other monoliths, from art to the supernatural.
