The Mojave Desert is the driest desert in North America. Where a mysterious metal megaphone attracts everyone who looks like a telescope or a loud speaker, whose presence has not been detected. Is this a deliberate way to attract attention to this place? Despite the location between Las Vegas and Los Angeles, there is practically no street and is full of mysteries with strange things in the Mojave desert. Not far from the ghost town of Crusero, Dry Zero has become home to the mysterious megaphone Mojave. As you guessed from the photo , it got its name for its apparent resemblance to a loudspeaker.
Mojave desert megaphone
This megaphone is located in a remote corner of the Mojave Desert National Wildlife Refuge . It is a piece of rusted metal permanently carved into a rocky ledge. This mysterious object is bolted to two rocks on two large rocks on a 100-foot hilltop between the towns of Baker and Ludlow, on a remote strip of desert. No one has been able to determine what exactly this thing is. The megaphone was classified as a mystery, as was the monolith of Utah, which was talked about all over the world in November 2020.

Metal megaphone Bolted to two rocks
Apart from the Mojave desert rocks, there is no life for miles around. The big megaphone remains a mystery how this heavy, bulky 2.4 meter long object ended up in its place. Consisting of two horn-shaped metal pieces bolted in the middle, it is too large for a single person's work. A group of people, or maybe aliens? - It would have taken a lot of effort to keep this shopper on the rock away from any civilized settlement.
Most likely, it was placed in the desert about 30-plus years ago. Although the megaphone has two heavy parts, many people will be able to pull it easily.
Megaphone-shaped mystery object
There are no markings on the case indicating the origin and date of manufacture. Someone recently threw an animal skin over the holes and used a megaphone as a drum, but that was definitely not its original purpose. Others have suggested it is part of a rocket system or venturi, an hourglass-shaped hull that is used to control the flow rate.
Since it has crosshair-shaped metal stripes, some have mistaken it for a sighting device. There are more fantastic theories - perhaps a tool pointing to the location of a California cave system that stretches for hundreds of miles, or even a gold treasure tag. However, given its shape, the moniker "megaphone" makes a lot of sense. Perhaps it's part of an outdated warning system, like a tornado siren.
Mojave desert directions
If you have a passable vehicle with high ground clearance, you can get to the megaphone and then climb the mountain to see it with your own eyes. You will need to drive across the Mojave River, then along dirt roads and sand. Take Highway 15 off Afton Canyon Road and head east to the campground. From there, continue for another 20-25 km. The exact coordinates of the megaphone are 35.0056 degrees north latitude, 116.1963 degrees west longitude.

As a person you have the motivation or means of see at the Mojave desert mysteries and megaphone, then it is clear that these strange objects stimulate strange movements in the human imagination.
This stretch of the Mojave Desert can be deadly, with temperatures reaching 54 degrees Celsius in summer. It is best to travel during the cooler season. Also, keep in mind that no matter the weather, this is a remote location and you won't have cellular coverage in the event of a car malfunction or other emergency.
