Georgia Guidestones.

Georgia Guidestones

World-renowned enigma! The Georgia Guidestones are a granite monument erected in 1980. The person responsible for having them made is unknown even today. Engraved on the granite structure in eight different languages is a set of ten guidelines for the management of humanity across the globe. A shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts.

The Georgia Guidestones

A man was playing music out of a suitcase, singing conspiracy theories, as this was built on 3/22/1980. Those are the special numbers of the Skull and Crossbones, a secret society George Bush Sr. belonged to. Secret Easter egg: the first stone top inner, there is a chunk missing. Was carved out and replaced with a free mason symbol, then removed by police a couple years ago. Crazy story, maybe when you stop, he'll be there. Very cool guy, say hi.

My husband and I visited the Guidestones a couple of years ago. We were curious to see "Georgia's Stonehenge." It was very interesting, but I have to say we both had somewhat of an eerie feeling while there. Can't really explain it, but it was kinda spooky!

Signage isn't great, but you can see it from the road if you're looking. It's in the middle of nowhere! And, apparently a target for graffiti artists.

At the Georgia Guidestones: Is that Geodesic dome house the home of the builder of the Guidestones? It's right across Highway 77 and visible through the east/west peephole in the center obelisk.
