Georgia Guidestones

OK, I really don't know what to say about the Georgia Guidestones, other than I really wanted to see them at some point.

I hate to generically suggest that you go to Wikipedia to read up on the basics, but that would be a good place to start.

The short story is..... in 1979 some guy commissioned a granite company in Elberton to build the Guidestones.  The Guidestones list 10 rules that society should go by, and they are noted in 8 different languages.  The Guidestones are almost 20 feet high.


Someone obviously felt strongly about the Guidestones.  A lot of time, work, and money has been invested in them.  Conspiracy theory types have had a lot to say about them.

Signs up note that the place is under surveillance.  The spot is a very popular roadside attraction.  There were a lot of people there when we went.

People were picnicking, kids were playing ball, and many people were reading and looking around.  This is a very curious place to stop.

Check out my photos.  It may be worth noting that we saw some odd, round shaped buildings nearby.  They seemed very appropriate.
