i can't speak to all of the monoliths that have been erected. but this one seems unusual because it was "near Gass Peak in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge" (not a location that is easily accessible by car) and it was "made of folded sheet metal and held together with rebar and concrete, authorities said."

That sounds heavier than one or two people could just carry on their own, but maybe I'm overestimating that.
