More than 40 years ago, an unknown man erected a massive monument in Georgia. Principles in several languages are engraved on granite steles. Decades later, their origin remains a mystery – and the message controversial. Now the stone slabs are destroyed by an explosive attack.
The Georgia Guidestones have been a mystery for years – now unknown persons have blown up the mysterious stone monument in the US state of Georgia. For safety reasons, the remains of the steles near the county seat of Elberton were then completely dismantled, the Georgia Criminal Investigation Department said. Surveillance video shows the explosion and a car driving away shortly following.
The Georgia Guidestones consisted of granite steles, a central column and a roof slab. Because of the similarity to the Stone Age cult site in England, the monument was also referred to as “American Stonehenge”. Ten commandments were engraved on the steles in English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Among other things, it read: “Keep humanity under 500 million in constant balance with nature”, “Avoid irrelevant laws and useless officials” and “Don’t be a cancer for this earth, leave room for nature.”
According to the Elbert County Chamber of Commerce, an unknown man commissioned the monument from a local granite company. At the time, he posed as representing a “small group of loyal Americans who believe in God.” She wants to leave a message for future generations. The almost six meter high monument was erected in 1980.
Since then, there has been much speculation regarding the Georgia Guidestones. “The identities and intentions of the people who commissioned them are unknown,” Katie McCarthy of the non-governmental organization Anti-Defamation League told NPR radio. “This has helped fuel much speculation and conspiracy theories over the years as to the true purpose of the Guidestones.”
A 2015 documentary suggested links between the unknown client and racist groups. Conspiracy theorists see a connection to secret societies and the “New World Order”. Republican candidate Kandiss Taylor, on the other hand, called the Georgia Guidestones satanic in the 2022 gubernatorial campaign and announced that the steles would be destroyed if she won the election. “God is God all alone. He can do anything He wants to do, including tearing down the Satanic Guidestones,” she wrote on Twitter.
