The Georgia Guidestones

On July 6, 2022 from news report: The Georgia Guidestones monument near Elberton was damaged by an explosive device, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said, and later knocked down "for safety reasons," leaving a pile of rubble in a picture that investigators published. Surveillance footage showed a sharp explosion blowing one panel to rubble just after 4 a.m. It was an amazing piece to see. Interesting thoughts on how to help society rebuild if needed. It truly saddens me to see someone do this.

The explosion at the Georgia Guidestones early this morning caused significant damage. Due to the hazard, the remains were taken down. See the local Elberton GA Facebook pages for stories. So sad about this. Have family connections in Elberton.
