Who Created The Georgia Guidestones And Why?

     In the summer of 1979 a man using the alias Robert C. Christian went to the Elberton Granite Finishing Company where he claimed to represent "a small group of loyal Americans".  The man had an unusual request.  He wanted to erect a granite monument that should function as a clock, calendar, and compass for the people of the future who survive a nuclear attack or some other kind of catastrophe.  After the company agreed to the project and a price was settled on the man visited a local bank to arrange payment for the project and provided a scale model and very specific instructions for Elberton Granite.  The true identity of the man has never been determined and has left people guessing since 1979.

     On March 22, 1980 the mysterious monument was unveiled by Congressman Doug Barnard.  The master of ceremonies read a message to the audience that was reportedly from the group who commissioned the project and the odd message added even more intrigue to the unusual monument and its mysterious sponsors.  The message read:  "In order to avoid debate, we the sponsors of the Georgia Guidestones have a simple message for human beings, now and for the future.  We believe our precepts are sound, and they must stand on their own merits."  Visitors at the ceremony got the first look at the strange granite monument.  A set of ten guidelines were inscribed into the granite in eight different languages.  The guidelines are as follows: 1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 In perpetual balance with nature.  2. Guide reproduction wisely--improving fitness and diversity.  3. Unite humanity with a living new language.  4. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.  6.  Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.  7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.  8. Balance personal rights with social duties.  9.  Prize truth-beauty-love-seeking harmony with the Infiniti.  10. Be not a cancer on the Earth--leave room for nature--leave room for nature.

     A hole drilled through the granite on one side lined up with the North Star.  A slot cut into another section aligned with the Sun's solstices and equinoxes.  Another slot allowed the sun to pass through it at noon every day.

     The monument was controversial from the very beginning as well as being mysterious.  Some thought it was the work of a satanic cult while others thought it was likely to be the Rosicrucian's who were responsible for the monument.  Another popular theory was that the monument was erected by those who supported the secret society known as the Illuminati and its efforts to promote New World Order.  In 2008 the stones were defaced with spray painted graffiti that read: "Death to New World Order".

     Then, on July 6, 2022 a large explosion was reported at the monument.  Someone attempted to destroy the monument with a bomb.  The mysterious granite stones were badly damaged and deemed unsafe.  Authorities dismantled what was left of the monument.  As of this writing no one has been charged with the bombing.  A suggestion to rebuild the monument has proved to be as controversial as the original monument and so far has not been achieved.  

     Though the mysterious slabs of granite are no longer standing, their creation and the people behind it remains one of those puzzling mysteries that intrigues people to this day.  Who was the man using the alias Robert C. Christian?  What group did he represent?  How and why did they finance such a massive and expensive project?  Why did they go to such great lengths to conceal their identity? Will we ever uncover the mystery surrounding the Georgia Guidestones?
