These are a regional curiosity about two hours northeast of Atlanta. They're often vandalized, which has led to the installation of security cameras.
Some say that TV mogul Ted Turner was responsible for funding their construction, but the veracity of that claim has never been proven. The Guidestones do seem to fit the theme of his "doomsday video" that he instructed CNN to play in the event the world comes to an end.
If you live in Atlanta, they're worth a visit simply due to how eerie they are.
I doubt it was Edward Turner. “Keep the population at 500MM” sounds very fundamentalist (though turner is a conservationist I don’t think he’s that far off the wall).
While I think we would do well by slowing pop growth, a 1960-1970 even 1980s level of human pop is sustainable long term without depleting wildernesses and wildlife. 500MM seems quite artificially low. Like pre industrialization low.
Creepy. Makes me envision a dystopia with Bond villain super rich dudes with lots of AI driven robots ruling over ~500,000,000 slaves after they bioweapon a few billion into early graves to make way for giant nature preserves.
