It is also an astronomical calendar.The Georgia Guidestones have been the subject of conspiracy theories, and have most recently been targeted by fringe Georgia gubernatorial candidate Kandiss Taylor, who alleges the monument is tied to a “Luciferian Cabal.” Taylor pledged to “demolish” the monument as a major part of her campaign platform, and on July 6 tweeted that “God” was responsible for “striking down the Satanic Guidestones.”This video filmed by Michael A Weis on Wednesday morning shows the damaged monument.
