Before the slabs were brought down, they read:
- 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.
These messages or ‘commandments’ were written in eight different languages with one language on each face of the four stones.
Moving clockwise around the structure from due north, these languages are English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Traditional Chinese, and Russian.
UPDATE 10.15 pm (July 6) – A video making the rounds on social media reportedly shows the moment that part of the Georgia Guidestones monument was destroyed on Wednesday, July 6.
As noted earlier, police confirmed that the Georgia Guidestones had been deliberately detonated by “unknown individuals”.

The Georgia Guidestones are a granite monument erected in 1980 in Elbert County, Georgia, in the United States.
On them is a set of ten guidelines inscribed on the structure in eight modern languages and a shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient language scripts.
Famously ‘conspiracy theorists’ like to point to the first ‘commandment’ which states: “Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.”
This has caused many people to link comments from world leaders – who have stated that there are too many people in the world – back to the monument.

GA Governor Candidate 2022, Kandiss Taylor, called the Guidestones ‘Santanic’.
“God is God all by Himself,” she wrote.
“He can do ANYTHING He wants to do. That includes striking down Satanic Guidestones.”
