Started a new thread on this due to a Search function blunder, the below overview might be useful to anyone new to the topic.

Here's the back story.
In 1980 four granite plinths were erected in Elberton, rural Georgia, on the instruction of a man using the pseudonym RC Christian. The monument was said to be the culmination of a 20-year long project designed to leave behind a message for future generations in the event of a major catastrophe or nuclear event.
It was no mystery appearance overnight and invitations were seemingly sent out to local dignitaries.
The 10 guidelines, or commandments, are inscribed in English, Spanish, Russian, Swahili, Chinese, , Hebrew, Sanskrit and Arabic.
They are:
- Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
- Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
- Unite humanity with a living new language.
- Rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason.
- Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
- Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
- Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
- Balance personal rights with social duties.
- Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite.
- Be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature.
There are numerous connections and suggestions to New World Order/Illuminati conspiracies. Some suggest Satanic/Pagan links, while there is a theory that RC Christian never existed and was invented by a local businessman to promote tourism and the granite trade in the area.
It has regularly been vandalised with anti-NWO graffiti and many videos about it outline rage against the elite's apparent plan to eliminate 80% of us to get the world's population down to that magic 500 million.
Some interesting angles:
Blood stains seemingly spotted on the central slab (suggestive of sacrifice?):
In 2014 an additional cube containing the numbers 20 14 6 8 and the letters MM and JAM was found inserted into the monument. A video shows its removal and destruction by an unknown "official". The site is supposedly surveilled by CCTV so unsure how the block's insertion was missed but there are all kinds of theories about its removal being staged and the red-shirted guys 'hidden' Masonic gestures and signs.
I saw a brief bit about the Guidestones on TV a while back,
Monumental Mysteries I think, but have only recently started reading up about them in more depth.
I think I lean towards the idea that it was either a hoax created by the local granite businessmen to boost their industry, there are videos out there that explain the Joseph Smith style story-changing of the man who supposedly met RC Christian and took the order and the links between land sales and profiteering connected to the purchase of the Guidestones site.
Beyond that I can also see logic in it being the project of an eccentric concerned about humanity's survival during the Cold War years and erecting them as a genuine attempt to leave instructions to survivors of a nuclear catastrophe.
Last on my list would be the NWO/Illuminati commandments being hidden in plain sight. Takes a very skewed interpretation to find the 'evil' intentions behind the guidelines.
RC Christian apparently came out of hiding to publish a book in the 1990s,
Common Sense Renewed, which expands upon the themes outlined on the Guidestones.
