The Georgia Guidestones was a granite monument that stood in Elbert County, Georgia, United States, from 1980 to 2022. It was 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall and made from six granite slabs weighing a total of 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg).
A message consisting of a set of ten guidelines or principles was engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages, one language on each face of the four large upright stones. The inscription read:
Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature
Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity
Unite humanity with a living new language
Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court
Avoid petty laws and useless officials
Balance personal rights with social duties
Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite
Be not a cancer on the Earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature
On the morning of July 6, 2022, the Guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing, and were later dismantled on the same day...
