I was under the impression that the American Stonehenge project was about a new sculpture — not true. In reality — commissioned over thirty years ago with guidelines for the Post-Apocalypse. A better name — American Swiss Army Knife Rosetta Stone. Hard to believe all the crazy stories and extra press around who was behind the construction and its real purpose. If we can’t decipher the origin of the Guidestones now, the other stone enigmas will continue in science fiction propaganda.
Many monuments have been discovered throughout the world — only speculation on why or who constructed these markers. Often over time, information is lost forever. No simple translation except it has several languages to spell it out. The hidden meaning — archeologists to the rescue in a few thousand years.
The strangest monument in America looms over a barren knoll in northeastern Georgia. Five massive slabs of polished granite rise out of the earth in a star pattern. The rocks are each 16 feet tall, with four of them weighing more than 20 tons apiece. Together they support a 25,000-pound capstone. Approaching the edifice, it’s hard not to think immediately of England’s Stonehenge or possibly the ominous monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Built in 1980, these pale gray rocks are quietly awaiting the end of the world as we know it.
Called the Georgia Guidestones, the monument is a mystery—nobody knows exactly who commissioned it or why. The only clues to its origin are on a nearby plaque on the ground—which gives the dimensions and explains a series of intricate notches and holes that correspond to the movements of the sun and stars—and the “guides” themselves, directives carved into the rocks. These instructions appear in eight languages ranging from English to Swahili and reflect a peculiar New Age ideology. Read more…
