Blue Granite Georgia Guidestones

Once located in Elbert County Georgia, a mysterious, anonymously funded project stood tall known as the Georgia Guidestones, and few researchers have referred to the Guidestones as an American Stonehenge. The Elberton Granite Finishing company built this blue granite structure in 1980 per funding from a person going by the name of R.C. Christian.

Theories link the pseudonym to Rosicrucianism along with parts of the text found inscribed on the stones. There also resides the possibility this monument was created for the sole purpose of a publicity stunt, as a way to promote Elberton's granite finishing company.

It's believed the content is a guideline for future conservation of mankind, but the basis has not yet been deciphered. In addition to ten guidelines inscribed in eight different languages, the stones themselves are orientated and aligned to mark the 18.6 year lunar declination cycle, as well as the Sun solstices and equinoxes. The cap-stone also manages to keep track of the current day of the year with a sun ray passing through and provides a direct peering hole at Polaris. Also, a key-guide tablet can be found a short distance from the guide-stones speaks of a time capsule buried below.

Recent update: In summer of 2022, the Guidestones were demolished for safety concerns after an explosion destabilized the roadside monument. It's believed this might have been politically motivated controversy over the contents etched into the stones.
