Hi, breakdown listeners. It's your breakdown host, Tamara Hallerman. I'm here to bring you something a little different on our breakdown feed.

At the Atlanta Journal Constitution, we've been investigating the origins and the demise of a mysterious monument in northeast Georgia, the Georgia Guidestones.

Our new narrative podcast is a wild ride through granite quarries, graves, cults, small-town southern lore,

and a lot of explosives.

And over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing you all the new episodes here on this feed.

So, if you like true crime,

if you like a good mystery, if you like putting the pieces together, you're going to like who blew up the guidestones. Check out this trailer. In the middle of a grassy field, a cow pasture really, are six huge gray slabs of solid granite,

19 feet tall, about the height of a two-story house.

And they're arranged like a monument, an ancient monument, like Stonehenge.

There are words etched into the stones in eight different languages,

English, but also Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.

On closer look, those words on the stones are a set of directives, written like commandments.

Some people call these America's Stonehenge, but for the thousands of people who came from around the world to visit them every year. They were known as the Georgia Guide Stones.

But if you wanted to visit this place in person today,

read the messages on the stones for yourself.

You'd be standing in an empty field because one night, a few

years ago, someone blew them up.

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

This is Who Blew Up the Guidestones?

The Georgia Guidestones may be America's answer to Stonehenge.

And then there was the Georgia Guidestones.

Did you ever see the Georgia Guidestones?
