The Georgia Guidestones was a granite monument that stood in Elbert County, Georgia, United States, from 1980 to 2022. It was 19 feet 3 inches (5.87 m) tall and made from six granite slabs weighing a total of 237,746 pounds (107,840 kg).^[1] The structure was sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".^[2]^[3] The monument's creators believed that there was going to be an upcoming social, nuclear, or economic calamity and they wanted the monument to serve as a guide for humanity in the world which would exist after it.^[4] Controversial from its time of construction, it ultimately became the subject of conspiracy theories which alleged that it was connected to Satanism.^[5]

On the morning of July 6, 2022, the guidestones were heavily damaged in a bombing from a vandal,^[2]^[6] and the debris and guidestones were removed by the local government later that day.^[7]^[8] In late July, Elberton Mayor Daniel Graves announced plans to rebuild the monument.^[9] However, on August 8, the Elbert County Board of Commissioners voted to donate the remains of the monument to the Elberton Granite Association and return the 5 acres (2 ha) of land on which the monument was erected to its previous owner.^[10]
