These mysterious guide stones have intrigued my friend Nancy and me for several years. A couple of weeks ago we decided to go see them for ourselves and, there we were almost eight miles away from a small rural town in Elberton, Georgia.
The four huge 19 ft stones prescribe principles for living – some of them controversial — in eight different languages. The languages chosen were Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, English, Kiswahili, Russian, and Spanish. The stones also have an inscription, an appeal to reason, in four archaic languages – Babylonian Cuneiform, Classical Greek, Egyptian Hieroglyphics and Sanskrit, and there are some fascinating astronomical aspects regarding their positioning and location as well.
We did not spend much time discussing the riddle, ‘the why and who did it’ of the guide stones. We were much more interested in the ten inscribed guidelines – their intended potential as evolving principles to direct the course and future of humanity.
They are worth reading and pondering…look them up and start a conversation.
Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite…
…leave room for nature
Intrigued,
