The link above has a brief story and some video.
Long and short... a wealthy individual commissioned the creation of 4 guide stones that read similar to the 10 commandments. They were meant to be atheistic guiding principles for society after a nuclear holocaust or some other major depopulation event.
I don't remember everything that's on them, but it basically said (among other things) that the world should learn to exist on only 500,000,000 people in the world, and that there should be a global central government, etc.
They were all made of granite, and installed there in 1979 (video says 1980, but I've read everywhere else that they were put there in 1979). It's been kept secret who paid for them, and it's on private land.
Someone blew up one of the large tablets... which i think is wrong, even if I think the stones are kind of dumb. But then even more weird, they've decided to destroy the other three tablets (which appear undamaged). Really odd... you're effectively really helping out the original person who tried to destroy them... lol...

They have been a popular attraction in the rural area of East Georgia. I saw one report that said that people from around the world have come to visit them. For decades it was unknown how they got there and who erected them. I think it's still unknown who is responsible.
Aside from the english translation, there are inscriptions in other unknown languages. I speculate that they repeat the same message that's inscribed in English.
Because of the continuing vandalism, the group that maintains the site had set up cameras around the area. Yesterday, I heard one speculation that based upon one video, it was a lightning strike instead of an explosion, but on the local 10 PM news, they were showing a video of a vehicle quickly leaving the scene just before the explosion. Only the top stone was demolished and I believe it had no inscriptions. That stone also had a hole bored through it that always aligned with the North Star.
I was dismayed that though one of the uprights with the inscriptions was damaged, that they demolised the whole monument.

That was exactly my thought as well... I couldn't understand why they would demolish the entire thing.
The top was partially damaged, but one entire upright tablets was destroyed. The three other tablets looked to be in perfect shape (unless they were cracked or whatever), so yeah... why destroy the entire thing?

My first reaction to the news, like most people I suspect, is 'WTF are the Georgia guide stones?' Then I read the history, and I still don't really care.
What is odd, is
-a politician recently called for them to be taken down
-one of the inscriptions read 'Avoid petty laws and useless officials.'
-the cameras on the site were very recently installed
-the camera footage released is just the moment of the explosion and the Dodge Challenger speeding away, with substantial parts like the person or people planting the explosives removed
Nope, nothing fishy going on here...

Haha... I suppose there were a lot of people who've never heard of it... just like that really tall tower in the middle of Baltimore that was used to make bullets for the revolutionary war.
But yeah, I think with some exception, I do get frustrated when people vandalize or destroy monuments or statues.
Obviously, I understand people wanting to tear down statues of Sadam Hussein when we rolled into Iraq, and I wouldn't really have a problem if the Satan statue in PA (?) was taken down... but still, seems so wasteful.

Satan statue...look for a "Statue of Baphomet" at a Satanic Temple near you. I think there's more than just one such temple and statue here in the U.S.

It wasn't satanist though? It was just a sort of moral guideline to live by, which also functioned as a clock, calendar, and compass. It wasn't a religious structure

RWDPLZ, just this afternoon, other footage was released. There was a blurry video of an individual running to the monument with a large container, then running away before the explosion. The container was set at the base of one of the uprights. Then there was more of the car. A very clear picture of the car. They identified it as a silver Toyota Camry. The passenger rear window was down about halfway and it appeared to me that there was a large dog peering out the window.
