Georgia Guidestones, long treasured and feared, demolished after bombing attack
After 42 years, the mysterious Georgia Guidestones, often called America’s Stonehenge, are no longer casting a shadow in rural Elbert County, Georgia. Early on July 5, one of the six slabs of granite making up a primitive-looking monument was destroyed by what the Georgia Bureau of Investigation believes was an explosive.
The remaining stones were removed the next day after officials determined they were unstable.
The guidestones stood for more than 40 years among fields seven miles outside of the small town of Elberton. For decades they’ve been a source of inspiration, fear, and curiosity. Hand-carved words across the nearly 20-foot-tall slabs brought discomfort and debate.
