The Georgia Guidestones

 

The Georgia Guidestones may be the most enigmatic monument in the US: huge slabs of granite, inscribed with directions for rebuilding civilization after the apocalypse. Only one man knows who created them—and he's not talking.

Monumental Precision

 

Built to survive the apocalypse, the Georgia Guidestones are not merely instructions for the future—the massive granite slabs also function as a clock, calendar, and compass.

 

1 - The monument sits at the highest point in Elbert County and is oriented to track the sun's east-west migration year-round.

 

 

2 - On an equinox or solstice, visitors who stand at the west side of the "mail slot" are positioned to see the sun rise on the horizon.

 

 

3 - An eye-level hole drilled into the center support stone allows stargazers on the south side to locate Polaris, the North Star.

 

 

4 - A 7/8-inch hole drilled through the capstone focuses a sunbeam on the center column and at noon pinpoints the day of the year.
