A simple keyword search led us to news reports by multiple media outlets.

According to the Times of India, the monument, dubbed “America’s Stonehenge” was bombed, as per the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

Citing GBI, the report mentioned that the rest of the structure was demolished and cleared from the site due to safety reasons.

The six meter-high Guidestones were commissioned by a group or person, under the pseudonym RC Christian in 1980, and were nearly unveiled to the public the same year.

We came across the GBI’s verified Twitter handle, which shared two surveillance videos of the explosion. It said that as per the available footage, a car was seen leaving the site shortly after the explosion occurred.

The bureau also released footage showing an unidentified person placing explosives at the site. They added that the explosion had weakened the structure, creating “an unsafe environment for investigators to search,” and they took a call to demolish the entire monument.

We also checked the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) website for any recorded seismic activity in Georgia, which showed that there was no earthquake in the state in July 2022.

Since its erection, the monument had been surrounded by unfounded theories and conspiracies. Some conservative Christians considered the pillars to be “satanic,” reported National Public Radio (NPR).
