The Monolith

The Monolith is a strange location found in the Season 1 map.

There are currently many questions in the community about this structure:


 * What is this thing?


 * Who built it?


 * What is it's purpose?

It seems that none of the Scout Members know what it is, or are simply not admitting responsibility.

Location
The Monolith seems to be located in a desert, possibly near Plastic Scot's base as he has been seen in livestreams flying past it when travelling between Scotland and the Shopping District.

Known Videos
Almost all of the current Season 1 ScoutCraft members have created at least one video about the monolith:


 * 25 May 2020 - Plastic Scot: Livestream 07 (from 1:20:15)
 * 12 June 2020 - Plastic Scot: Livestream 08 (from 1:36:14)
 * 24 June 2020 - Newmark: Episode 32 (entire video)

 * 26 June 2020 - Plastic Scot: Episode 22 (from 3:55)
 * 02 July 2020 - Dootronator: Episode 11 (from 7:52)

Not an exhaustive list.

The Monolith Awakens
The monolith "awoke" and became a tall Nether Portal on Saturday 04 July 2020. Most of the existing scouts simultaneously released videos at 6 PM GMT:


 * Plastic Scot: Episode 23 (video)
 * Newmark: Episode 34 (video)
 * JumbleWolf: Episode 09 (video)
 * Saph: Episode 25 (video)
 * Vloop: Episode 16 (video)

As part of this, four (4) new Scout members were revealed. It seems the portal somehow connected the ScoutCraft server to multiple different single-player worlds. How this actually happened is still a mystery.
