[QUOTE="Bixby Sooner53, post: 3812491, member: 45293"] You are correct in your recollection about the stated purpose of the "Guidestones" - at least as far as what the creator of the monument was told about the purpose. According to Wikipedia - When arranging payment, Christian said that he represented a group which had been planning the guidestones for 20 years and which wanted to remain anonymous.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones#cite_note-Sullivan_2009-1'][1][/URL] and later, The inscriptions are reportedly according to the organizers to guide humanity to [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_conservation']conserve nature[/URL] after a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_warfare']nuclear war[/URL], which the creators thought was an imminent threat.[URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones#cite_note-:0-7'][7][/URL][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones#cite_note-:1-8'][8][/URL]. I'm old enough to remember the 1960's and the 1980's. The threat of nuclear war was very real in the 60's but by they time they bought the land and built the monument, in the 1980's it was not.
