From 1980 to 2022, the Georgia Guidestones appeared in Elbert County, Georgia with as much speculation and mystery as Stonehenge.

This monument of sorts contained 4 large granite slabs that were 16 feet tall. Ten "guides" were listed in 12 languages. These were presented as guides for humanity to follow to survive and thrive. 

The guides were listed as- 

*keeping the population under 500 million. 
*managing population size, having diversity and fitness
*uniting mankind with one universal language
*use tempered reason to manage faith, tradition, and passion
*protect the people with fair laws and just courts
*each country manages its own conditions and settles issues in a world court
*get rid of petty laws and useless officials
*balance personal rights with social duties
*prize truth, beauty, and love in harmony with the infinite
*do not be a cancer upon the earth, protect nature

Although it sounds a bit new-world order hopes and dreams, especially population control. This set off citizens to assume things like satanism or Bill Gates supporters. 

The builder of it remained a mystery for a long time until clues began to unfold. R.C. Christian was the name announced related to the building of the guidestones. Of course, the name is very questionable and as mysterious as his reasons for having it erected. 

In 2022, someone blasted the monument and it became unstable, prompting removal of it. Why was it blown up? Well, there are surely some folks out there that soak in their inner reasoning and feel justified to get rid of the ambigious structure. They may never know who ruined it, but many locals are likely glad attention is no longer drawn to the stark reminder of one man's mindset being imposed on a region.
