SOMETHING'S MISSING... |
Monoliths are strange slabs of engraved stone, standing upright in multiple hidden locations across the World. There are a total of 16 Monoliths.
History
Possessing some technology either in or around them, their devices project holograms of a single entity whose identity or purpose is difficult to discern. Monoliths are activated by The Drifter and kept track of at the Monolith Gallery.
Lore and Story Analysis
Prehistory
Stone Monoliths were built by an ancient race, the "Monolith Race", let's call them The Librarians. Their location is important, as each Monolith pertains to the region it is found within.
The Librarians were probably the first race, the primordial species (the race seen when a Monolith is activated for the first time.) They worshiped the Jackal God, the Godlike entity called Anubis * .
They were the ones who originally discovered the Pink Energy source - which we can find in every area of the World - and built the Titans in the distant past, for unknown reasons. The Titans were modeled upon giant creatures that walked the World at this time. A skeleton of one such creature can be found in the West Zone (see more here.)
We don't know what happened next, if this fifth ancient race was thought extinct, or maybe lived on alongside the other races. If they lived on in secret, or if only one survived.

Understanding the alphabet
The table above shows the letters of the alphabet and their corresponding in-game glyphs.
Many of the glyphs represent two letters instead of only one. The missing letters (J, Q, X, and Z) do not have any corresponding glyphs as far as we know. There are no spaces between each glyph. The glyphs are read from top to bottom as opposed to from left to right, which is how we normally read.
