American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse

"What's most widely agreed upon—based on the evidence available—is that the Guidestones are meant to instruct the dazed survivors of some impending apocalypse as they attempt to reconstitute civilization."

Swiped from a recent article from Wired Magazine. Anyone been to the Georgia Guidestones or got any thoughts about it?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149345#Comment_149345 2009-04-26T01:13:42-07:00 2013-05-24T22:30:53-07:00 Adam http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=375

We'll NEVER know what the intention was with these, but either end of the scale is just as intriguing. On the one hand, it may have been motivated by religious fervor - and its impressive the lengths that some will go to in order to meet the directives of their faith. On the other hand, it may have just been a nice rounded practical joke by a very wealthy ring of jocular benefactors thumbing their noses at the rest of the species for the lulz of it. And the psychology behind that - both of their own mindset, and of the psychology of mystery that they have employed against the rest of us - is just as fascinating.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149356#Comment_149356 2009-04-26T02:54:25-07:00 2013-05-24T22:30:53-07:00 LudwigTheurer http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=4312

There are so many secret groups around doing things like that, they can't be all right and most previous ones were all wrong. (Me? Using some flawed social logic? yay.) Most likely done by Order of ...

Agree with the idea of being a guide to post-apocalyptic survivors, the content is obvious and simple, the kind of thing desperate and lost people would care and we don't.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149473#Comment_149473 2009-04-26T15:03:50-07:00 2013-05-24T22:30:53-07:00 James Cunningham http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=2925

The best ruses/hoaxes/jokes are always going to be the ones that cost a shitload because it is hard to quite believe that people would go to the time effort and expense just for a laugh.

I pedaled past Foamhenge once. But it dates from AD 2004, and I think that at most it would instruct dazed survivors that some megaliths are flammable.

Also, it'd be like the Rosetta Stone. Comparisons between different languages that say the same thing is a good way to figure out what they're each referring to, if remnants remain.
