Erected in Elbert County, Georgia March 22, 1980, this enigmatic granite
monument (sometimes referred to as the American Stonehenge) was
instantly the centre of numerous conspiracy theories. Who built it? Why?
And what do the guides on the stones actually mean? The Canadian
Emmy-award winning series, Guidestones, explores the conspiracy
surrounding the monument.
There are ten lofty commandments inscribed on the stones in eight
different languages. The first reads "Maintain humanity under
500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature". This is interpreted as
evidence of an impending apocalypse orchestrated by such secret
societies as the Freemasons, the Illuminati, the Bilderburg Group, the
Rosicrucians, or some other elitist organization. As such the Georgia
Guidestones are frequently considered to be a sinister warning and
should be regarded with suspicion and fear.
After reading Randall Sullivan's article in Wired Magazine in 2009,
Guidestones creator and director, Jay Ferguson, was determined to make
the stone monument the centre of his next project. With a small
dedicated team, what he created became an international sensation,
exploring the frontier of interactive digital media in a never before
seen format.
The series follows an international journalism student, Sandy Rai, who
quickly becomes caught in a global conspiracy while investigating an
unsolved murder. The story adheres to the popular conspiracy theory and
attributes the Georgia Guidestones to the Rosicrucians, an order similar
to the Freemasons. The inscription "R.C. Christian" on the nearby
instruction tablet indicates that this mysterious figure is the author
of the Guidestones, but also admits, in subsequent parentheses, that
this name is a pseudonym. As such many have assumed that it refers to
Christian Rosenkreuz, the supposed founder of the Order of Rosicrucian, a
secret society, which first appeared in Protestant Germany in the early
17th century.
In modern times, several organizations, both religious and
non-religious, identify themselves as Rosicrucian. Sandy's search leads
her to the Ancient Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis (AMORC), a
self-purported non-sectarian organization founded in 1915, which is
dedicated to the teaching of philosophical and mystical principles in
order to achieve a higher knowledge. They claim their roots reach back
to Ancient Egypt and are the only true Rosicrucian Order (although they
profess not to judge others who use the name). Other organizations speak
of a true and invisible Rosicrucian Order to which all orders have a
spiritual connection. This is the stuff of which great conspiracies and,
as Guidestones proves, great stories are made.
Traveling around the world, Sandy uncovers a nefarious corporation,
which has been developing next gen technology capable of triggering
controlled natural disasters and culling the global population. In the
wake of this destruction and chaos they will form a New World Order.
Throughout Sandy's investigation, she is met with challenges and
mysteries she never expected including her own shocking connection to
the conspiracy.
Whoever the builders were and whatever their intentions, imagination has
certainly filled the gaps where facts have been found wanting.
