No. 1 - Georgia Guidestones

In Elbert County, Georgia there sits a monument some refer to as the "American Stonehenge." The structure consists of six granite slabs, almost 20 feet high and weighing more than 100 tons. The creator of the monument is unknown. Inscribed in the monument in eight different languages (English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese and Russian) are the following set of ten guidelines:
  1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
  2. Guide reproduction wisely - improving fitness and diversity.
  3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
  4. Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
  5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
  6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
  7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
  8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
  9. Prize truth - beauty - love - seeking harmony with the infinite.
  10. Be not a cancer on the earth - Leave room for nature - Leave room for nature.
