Re: Authorities Searching for Whoever Set Off Explosion at Georgia Monument by Andy B on Friday, 08 July 2022

An explosion Wednesday at the mysterious Georgia Guidestones in Elberton, Georgia has caused significant damage to the stones.

The preliminary information indicates that someone detonated an explosive device at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.

GBI officials said officials with the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office found the explosion destroyed a large portion of the structure. The Elbert County Sheriff's Office asked the GBI to assist with the investigation.

The guidestones sit on a site 7 miles north of Elberton on Georgia Highway 77 and are often referred to as an American Stonehenge. Christopher Kubas, Executive Vice President of the Elberton Granite Association, said the organization has a role in the maintenance and preservation of the Guidestones.

“The capstone piece has been damaged and I’m sure the other three wings, and the center support probably have damage to them as well,” Kubas said. “Each one of those wings is 16 feet 4 inches tall. It’s 1.7 inches thick and it’s 6’6 wide. They weigh about 42,000 pounds each.”

Kubas said there were 24/7 surveillance cameras installed on the site a few years ago after incidents of vandalism.

"The stones have messages on them," Kubas said. "You know, guides for humanity. Some people find them offensive. Some people don’t. Over the years we’ve had messages spray painted on the Guidestones."

Kubas said the site has always been a major tourist attraction.

"I’ve met people from Australia, from China, from all over the world here at these Guidestones," Kubas said. "We probably have an excess of 20,000 visitors a year here."

Locals said they couldn't believe it when they heard the news.
