Georgia Guidestones



Unlike others, this strange monument is not from ancient times, but was put in place more recently. Probably one of the most mysterious and bizarre monuments, the stone structure is inscribed in eight different languages which includes Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Hindi and Swahili. The words give instructions for post-apocalyptic survivors, giving them guidelines on how to rebuild civilization. The identity of who created this monument remains a mystery.
