From Wikipedia:

Georgia Guidestones. The stone featuring the English version.The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA. A message comprising ten guides is inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages, and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages' scripts: Babylonian, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs.

The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge."[1] The monument is almost 20 feet (6.1 m) tall if the buried support stones are included, exactly 18 feet (5.5 m) otherwise[2], and made from six granite slabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds (110,000 kg) in all.[3] 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.

(The stones were paid for by someone named "R.C. Christian" and the logic benefactor was Ted Turner)

My opinion? Sounds like a great start for Nazis.

As long as there are no public funds, seems to be some hippy-freak nut. Dont give him any more exposure than necessary.

There was a big article about this in Wired magazine a couple years ago.

I really should go see them, but haven’t ever devoted a day to doing so.

Complete idealistic nonsense. There is no way to enforce 1-6 and also adhere to 7: Avoid petty laws and useless officials.

It lays out the precepts for a new world order pretty clearly, and calls for them in a deeply esoteric, astrological fashion. The “mail” slot the humblegunner refers to is a viewing window for some kind of astrological phenomenon :

“the monument is almost twenty feet tall, and made from six granite slabs that weigh more than 100 tons. 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 monument, provides some clarifying notes on the history and purpose of the Guidestones.

The stones are placed so that a slit at eye level in the central upright slab permits an observer to view the eastern horizon and aligns with the position of the rising sun at the Summer and Winter Solstices. Through the center stone, from south to north, a two-inch diameter hole is inclined at an angle of 34 degrees and points to the North celestial pole. A beam of sunlight passing through a hole in the capstone forms a spot of light below. The position of the spot can be used to determine high noon and the day of the year.

The eye-level, oblique hole is drilled from the South to the North side of the center, Gnomen stone, so that the North Star is always visible, symbolizing constancy and orientation with the forces of nature.

A slot is cut in the middle of the Gnomen stone to form a window which aligns with the positions of the rising sun at the Summer and Winter Solstices and at the Equinox, so that the noon sun shines to indicate noon on a curved line.

The cap stone includes a calendar of sorts, where sunlight beams through a 7/8 inch hole at noon, and shines on the South face of the center stone. As the sun makes its travel cycle, the spot beamed through the hole can tell the day of the year at noon each day. Allowances are made because of variations between standard time and sun time to set the beam of sunlight at an equation of time. The site was chosen because it commands a view to the East and to the West and is within the range of the Summer and Winter sunrises and sunsets. The stones are oriented in those directions. “ http://beyondthemystery.forumotion.com/t744-the-georgia-guidestones

It’s really creepy, new agey, NWO, black magic - all that. It’s the kind of thing that tells you maybe Alex Jones isn’t so crazy

” Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”

My guess is that this is a call for the elimination of the human population over the excess of 500,000,000. May I suggest that a carbon footprint/Prado analysis be used in the selection of those to be first eliminated. Those with the biggest carbon footprints appear to be doing the most damage so they should naturaly go to top the list. That would be mainly the private jet set. /S>

Another GREAT SOCIALIST/LIBERAL HUMANIST ATHEISTIC, SMUG, ARROGANT, KNOW-IT-ALL MIND . . .

Thinking, as usual, God can’t manage it without THEIR great help. They’ve got it all figgered out; except for the inevitable UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES of their damnable “programs”.
