Utah 2021 monolith possible error?

[edit]

The article says:

On April 3, 2021, Another monolith was found in the Three Peaks recreational area near Cedar City, Iron County, Utah. One major difference was that the monolith had a button on the east facing side that when pressed, would expose a container which had a metal piece with the eye of RA, the Egyptian sun God. This drawer dispensed strips of copper engraved seemingly the first piece of a puzzle: “HUMAN MAY 4TH | 37.3179604 | 114.9597835.”

While this is taken from a cited source, I think that it needs to be corroborated. The numbers are obviously geocoordinates, but as given they are point to a nondescript greenhouse, one of many in an agricultural area in Julu County, China. However, changing the longitude to western (-114.9597835) points to a place just off the western tip of the "island" in Delamar Dry Lake (37°19′4.66″N 114°57′35.22″W / 37.3179611°N 114.9597833°W / 37.3179611; -114.9597833), an obvious landmark which is moreover approximately (or maybe exactly?) 100 land miles from the monolith's location. I strongly suspect that the coordinates are wrong as cited, and this should be checked. 2A02:8071:5BD0:D4C0:0:0:0:2037 (talk) 11:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should all of this data be put in a table?

[edit]

it seems that the vast majority of this would be easily summarised by a basic table with locations lat/longs creators and dates of discovery. It'd be even better if it was accompanied by a map of sorts? 212.129.73.199 (talk) 09:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
