The Georgia Guidestones monument is one the most mysterious constructions on Earth, at least among constructions as new as it is. It stands on top of a prominent rise alongside a main road a few miles north of Elberton, Georgia USA and its origins are surrounded in controversy and enigma. Nobody knows who was behind it. We only know that in 1979 a local firm of granite masons was hired to build the monument by a man calling himself “RC Christian”. This Mr Christian was clearly very rich because the project was an expensive one; the only problem is that RC Christian wasn’t his real name. Nobody knows who his real name is and his identity remains unknown to this day. The Georgia Guidestones are over nineteen feet high, made of granite and are manifestly inspired by the ancient Neolithic monuments of Europe. They consist of four upright oblong slabs, aligned to the points of the compass like ancient megalithic sites often are, and a central pillar on top of which is a square capstone. A short distance away is an additional block with an English inscription outlining some basic, but also cryptic and incomplete, information about the structure; it includes the slogan: Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason. This block also announces that a time capsule is buried beneath the monument, but the instructions given about when it should be unearthed are unfinished. Nobody knows what is inside the alleged time capsule nor is there any evidence that anything is buried at the site. However, it is the main inscription on the upright slabs that is the most contentious and relevant part of this issue. It is a list of ten clauses which form some kind of revolutionary constitution for how the world should be governed, according to the author. It reads as follows:
