Who Blew Up The Guidestones?

Who Blew Up The Guidestones?

For decades, the Georgia Guidestones were nothing more than kitschy roadside Americana…a curiosity people visited for fun, intrigue…and the occasional pagan ritual. Nicknamed “America’s Stonehenge,” the Guidestones' arrival was just as mysterious. As the legend goes, they were commissioned by a secretive funder named R.C. Christian, who wanted the stones inscribed with ten “commandments” for surviving the apocalypse. But a lot of people didn’t believe that story. Wrapped in rumors, the Guidestones became magnets for religious panic, conspiracy theories, political extremism, and online rhetoric. Over the years, the stories about the stones have continued to evolve. But something changed in 2022. the Guidestones became a flashpoint. One that resulted in a real-world act of domestic terror. It's a mystery that to this day, has never been solved. This all new podcast from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Goat Rodeo takes listeners to the small town of Elberton and on a wild ride through granite quarries, graves, cults, Confederate monuments, a swatting raid, and A LOT of explosives.
