Georgia Guidestones

The Georgia Guidestones is a granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States. A set of 10 guidelines is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.
The monument stands at the highest point in Elbert County, about east of Atlanta, from Athens, and north of the center of Elberton. The stones are visible from Georgia Highway 77 (Hartwell Highway) and are reached by turning east on Guidestones Road.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=America Unhenged )〕 The monument is tall, made from six granite slabs weighing in all.〔(''American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse'' ) by Randall Sullivan. Wired Magazine ISSUE 17.05 (May 2009)〕 One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstone lies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. An additional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance to the west of the structure, provides some notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.
==History==

In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C. Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the structure.〔 The land was apparently purchased by Elbert County on October 1, 1979,〔(Land parcel information )〕〔( Parcel map )〕 although the Georgia Mountain Travel Association's history says the monument is located "on the farm of Mildred and Wayne Mullenix."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Northeast Georgia Mountains Travel Association )〕 The monument was unveiled on March 22, 1980, before an audience variously described as 100〔Moran (2004); p.193〕 or 400 people.〔
In 2008, the stones were defaced with polyurethane paint and graffiti with slogans such as "Death to the new world order".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Defacement of the Guidestones )〕 ''Wired'' magazine called the defacement "the first serious act of vandalism in the Guidestones' history".〔 In September 2014, an employee of the Elbert County maintenance department contacted the FBI when the stones were vandalised with graffiti including the phrase "I Am Isis, goddess of love".
