Over 240,000 Pounds of Granite covered in Instructions
A monolithic structure made from stone and covered in instructions for mankind- sounds like Stonehenge or some other ancient structure, right? Well, turns out the US has its own enigmatic yet culturally significant set of stone structures called “The Georgia Guidestones“.
The stones offer advice for humankind on a wide range of subjects. Its a widely held speculation that the stones were created to give instructions to mankind after an apocalypse of some kind. There is also astrological significance to the way the stones are placed and the content on their surfaces.
Here are the basic tenants of what the stones have to say:
- 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 (Wikipedia)
