The monolith was a teaching tool.
The teaching aid of an intelligent designer perhaps?
Primary School - It taught the trogs to use tools and, if you like, accelerated their evolutionary development.
High School - A magnetic field anomaly is detected on the surface of the moon
High School Graduation - The monolith is found and excavated on the moon. When exposed to light, it blasts off and is tracked so somewhere near Saturn.
University - The monolith inspires the first interplanetary journey.
University Graduation - The giant monolith is found and the weirdness begins :~)Cheers,
