The Georgia Guidestones is a large granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia, USA.
The structure is sometimes referred to as an "American Stonehenge".
The monument is almost 20 feet (6.1 m) tall if the buried support stones are included, exactly 18 feet (5.5 m) otherwise, and made from six granite slabs weighing more than 240,000 pounds (110,000 kg) in all. One slab stands in the center, with four arranged around it.
A message consisting of ten guidelines is engraved on the Georgia Guidestones in eight different languages: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.
