An idiom used to describe the reverence given to someone or something that is venerated. The term originated from a scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this scene, apes, the early ancestors of mankind, find and venerate a mysterious monolith that has appeared near their home.
Vasili: Did you see the way those Trump supporters unquestioningly cheered at everything he had to say?
Akseli: Its just another case of the apes and the monolith, Vasili.

1. Song that will reverberate through rocks and space when the human race has long ended, due to its high level of awesomeness.
2. Song that is its own little self-contained world, which sucks one in and takes one on a sensual journey.

Its not a word but:
The Monolith day, more known as Монолит, is the day to ''Praise the Monolith''.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, on 28 of December, should pray the Monolith and they can't do anything about it.
Enjoy the day, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s .

Being confronted by a computer (or technical) problem that you lack the skills (or intelligence) to resolve. A reference to the movie "2001," where confused monkeys are confronted by superior alien technology in the form of a monolith and beat it with sticks.
Dude A: My dad couldn't program his DVD player, and got totally pissed.
Dude B: Yep, monkeys before the monolith.

The first mysterious monolith appeared on 18 November in the Utah desert and disappeared on 27 November 2020. The second near the Petrodava Dacian Fortress in Romania. The third at the top of a mountain trail in southern California before it also vanished. The fourth on Compton beach, Isle of Wight, UK. Then a gold one in Chia, Colombia and another monolith appeared in the Kiekenberg nature reserve near Oudehorne, The Netherlands.
The mysterious monoliths were appearing everywhere.
A mysterious monolith even appeared in UD.

No convincing explanation for the appearance of these mysterious monoliths has been provided - though it has been suggested that the world's largest dot-to-dot is under construction.

A monolith is a tower with 100 - 500 floors. Monoliths are impossible to put together (floors) so it is impossible to build as a type of tower. And they are 5 times larger than a Great Citadel.
