They were considered the “American Stonehenge” and have been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories since their construction in 1980. Georgia’s “Guidestones”, six granite slabs whose inscriptions include ten “modern” commandments, were released Wednesday. blown up by previously unknown perpetrators. Surveillance camera footage released the next day shows the explosion. The wildest conspiracy theories are now entwined around it.
The inscriptions, engraved in eight different languages, advise, among other things: “Keep humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature. Lead reproduction wisely – to improve fitness and diversity.” There is also talk of the unification of people under a “new language”. Above all, the first two guidelines provided ample nourishment for supporters of the conspiracy scene, who always warn against a ” new world order” where the goal would be to radically reduce the world’s population. Some called the granite boulders, almost six meters high, “satanic”. But why the secret plans of a powerful group of conspirators could be read on such a publicly accessible monument , cannot be explained even by those who believe these speculations.
Online debate: new weapon or lightning strike?
There is now a heated discussion on social media about the explosion. For some, the most accurate analysis of the surveillance footage is “proof” that no “normal explosion” took place here. Others speak of a lightning strike. The police, who published the recordings, speak of unknown perpetrators who detonated an explosive device in the early hours of Wednesday morning and then drove away in a car. There is also a recording of that.
For safety reasons, the remains of the monument still standing had to be demolished. But there are already plans for a reconstruction.
