"Conspiracy theories may explain why someone blew up the Georgia Guidestones
In September, I set out with a team to solve a mystery. We wanted to figure out who destroyed a strange monument in Elbert County called the Georgia Guidestones on July 6, 2022, and why.
That journey is the subject of 'Who Blew Up the Guidestones?' a six-part narrative audio series produced by Goat Rodeo and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
(. . .)
As we traveled down rabbit holes, through granite quarries and graveyards, and into fringe corners of the internet, something odd began to happen. The question at the heart of our investigation — 'Why did someone blow up the Guidestones?' — had morphed into a new question. I started to wonder, 'Why didn’t someone blow up the Guidestones sooner?'
It felt like every day reporting this story I would learn about a new conspiracy theory aimed at the enigmatic granite structure, sometimes referred to as 'America’s Stonehenge,' calling for its demise.
The monument was the source of so much intrigue that the 42-year history of the Georgia Guidestones is basically just a history of popular conspiracy theories over that same period. Whatever the conspiracy theory du jour, the Guidestones had a place in it. I soon came to see them as blank slates onto which each generation could project their own anxieties and fears.
The details would vary, of course. The Georgia Guidestones were either satanic, extraterrestrial or otherwise sinister for some reasons I had trouble following. But the prescription was always the same: The stones must fall."
