The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge."[sup][1][/sup]The monument is almost 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, and made from six graniteslabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds (110,000 kg) in all.[sup][2][/sup] One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it. A capstonelies on top of the five slabs, which are astronomically aligned. Anadditional stone tablet, which is set in the ground a short distance tothe west of the structure, provides some notes on the history andpurpose of the Guidestones.


In June 1979, an unknown person or persons under the pseudonym R. C.Christian hired Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build thestructure.[sup][2][/sup] One popular hypothesis is that the author pseudonym may be a tribute to the legendary 14th-century founder of Rosicrucianism, Christian Rosenkreuz.[sup][2][/sup]

A popular opinion holds that the owner of the Elberton FinishingCompany, Mr Joe H. Fendley Sr, built the monument in order to expresshis own beliefs and at the same time promote the local granitebusinesses. As stated at the end of a booklet published by his companyin 1981, a minimum of further 12 stones could be built if a group of'conservation-minded' sponsors willing to pay the price could be found.Page 39 of the booklet states that Fendley is a high-ranking freemason.[sup][citation needed][/sup]

Always thought it was kinda cool, but why build it in Georgia?
If the world ended with a few survivors, I doubt they'd come across it.
