"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."

Anyone been to the Georgia Guidestones or got any thoughts about it? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149345#Comment_149345 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149345#Comment_149345 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:13:42 -0700 Adam
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 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149356#Comment_149356 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 02:54:25 -0700 LudwigTheurer
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 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149473#Comment_149473 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:03:50 -0700 James Cunningham
1) Build something large, durable, functional, and utterly harmless

2) Shroud it in mystery

3) Sit back with a bucket of popcorn as people drive themselves nuts trying to define it. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149479#Comment_149479 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149479#Comment_149479 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 15:20:02 -0700 Audley Strange Yeah,I always get the feeling that things like the Georgia Guidestones are elaborate jokes. ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149500#Comment_149500 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=149500#Comment_149500 Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:41:38 -0700 Pooka

Covering all bases.

I suppose because a spoken language can change, but a dead language is pretty fixed.
Or just for the lulz? ]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150772#Comment_150772 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150772#Comment_150772 Fri, 01 May 2009 02:51:19 -0700 Oddcult http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150793#Comment_150793 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150793#Comment_150793 Fri, 01 May 2009 04:22:48 -0700 thekamisama http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150854#Comment_150854 http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=5683&Focus=150854#Comment_150854 Fri, 01 May 2009 08:29:37 -0700 tedcroland totally awesome. ]]>
