The Georgia Guidestones

[Squidgy]

The Georgia Guidestones are often dismissed as irrelevent due to the lack of evidence as to whom funded this monument.

According to Wikipedia they were built to order by a man under the pseudonym- R. C. Christian.

Who is/was this guy? And why were they constructed?

Why is a hole drilled to spy the North Star?

Why is some of the text in ancient languages?

Why is the first guideline to keep the human population to 500million?

Was this built by a conspiracy theorist to aid conspiracy theories?(out there but possible... lolz)

Was this built by the satanic NWO? (out there but possible... lolz)

Was it built by an alien? (out there but possible... lolz)

Was it built by a genius?

I personally think the majority of the guidelines are brilliant and the first would be brilliant if there weren't nearly 7billion people on this planet already.

Thoughts please?...:confused:

You need to tell people what the guidestone is first.

Actually, it does not take a mysterious benefactor to make them irrelevant. They are by nature irrelevant. Lot's of things people have made are. No biggie.

You left out....

Why is this thread in Education?

From what I've seen, they appear to be a giant fortune cookie.

Besides the Wikipedia article the Wired article might also be of interest:
http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/magazine/17-05/ff_guidestones

I don't know if the guidestones are dismissed as irrelevant because it isn't known what group or individual commissioned them. They probably wouldn't be all that important regardless of whether it was known who commissioned them or not.

The mystery of who commissioned them is still interesting though. One thought I had is that it that the monument was built as some sort of a small local conspiracy to build the monument as a way of creating a local tourist attraction. I tried to investigate this idea a bit. The county where the stones are located has the deed on line. The stones seemed to have been transferred to the county directly without ever being owned by the entity that had them built as was reported in the Wired article. But there wasn't enough information on line to look at the ownership of the property prior to its current ownership by the county.

My sense of it was that the county wouldn't have accepted the transfer of the ownership of the property to itself without at least some idea about who was transferring the property to it. This implies that there might be more local people who have some insight into the people who commissioned the monument than just the banker who is reputed to have dealt with the representative of the group that commissioned the monument. If I lived closer to the county where the monument is I might have stopped by the county offices and looked through the actual deeds associated with the property to see what I could find out. As it was, I am about 2,700 miles away which is about 2,690 miles farther away than I would be willing to go to look into this.

They are not actualy very useful for a civilisation rebuild though.

For example they provide no useful information on finding tin or if you think you can ship the bronze age smelting iron.

This comment by Dice is what always intrigues me about peoples' beliefs about an "NWO":


The elite are planning to develop successful life-extension technology in the next few decades that will nearly stop the aging process," Dice says, "and they fear that with the current population of Earth so high, the masses will be using resources that the elite want for themselves. The Guidestones are the New World Order's Ten Commandments. They're also a way for the elite to get a laugh at the expense of the uninformed masses, as their agenda stands as clear as day and the zombies don't even notice it."


I can't understand why a super-secret organization whose plans of world dominance progressing at glacial speed would so willingly leave clues to those heinous ideas on slabs of granite (or sometimes in motion pictures) for all the world to see.

I get my laugh at any yo-yo that believes he has uncovered the purpose of any such "elite" conspiracy.
