But flashback to 1979, rural Georgia, this town called Elberton, Georgia, which is the self-proclaimed granite capital of the world.
He has very meticulous designs to build a massive granite monument.
And this monument is 20 feet tall, six massive granite slabs, weighing 250,000 pounds, something like that, with strange inscriptions that he wanted sandblasted onto the side after it's cordoned and everything.
But he has a lot of conditions, one being that his identity is never revealed.
the president of the granite company that was building it, and then the money man.
He basically, that was the only way that they would fund this.
But other than that, he kept his identity completely secret.
It went up in 1980 in Elberton.
I think it was just because it's just so hard to transport that huge amount of granite.
And then it sat there until 2022, always attracting conspiracy theories about UFOs, about lizard people, like whatever the conspiracy theory du jour was.
You could hang it on the Guidestones.
Until 2022, when someone in the middle of the night on July 6th blew them up with some explosives.
And to this day, it remains a mystery of who blew them up.

Yeah, and it's funny, the RC Christian, he wrote a lot.
