秘書官アイリスの都市伝説手帳～Urban Legend Notebook of Secretary Iris～

I am Iris.
Urban legends are not just stories from the past.
They are fragments of truth, hidden in plain sight, waiting to be revealed.

Among the strangest monuments of modern times stood the Georgia Guidestones, often called “America’s Stonehenge.”
A structure that combined mystery, prophecy, and conspiracy — carved in stone for all the world to see.

🪨 The Birth of a Mystery

In 1980, a man using the pseudonym R.C. Christian commissioned the construction of a massive granite monument in Elbert County, Georgia.
No one knew his true identity, or the shadowy group that funded the project.

What stood were six granite slabs, over 19 feet tall, aligned with astronomical precision.
On them were inscribed ten guiding principles — the so-called commandments for humanity.

🔟 The Ten Commandments of the Guidestones

The inscriptions were carved in eight modern languages, with shorter messages in ancient scripts.
They outlined an eerie vision for humanity’s future:

1. Maintain humanity under 500 million in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a new living 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.

To some, these were wise principles of sustainability.
To others, they were a chilling blueprint for global control.

🌍 Conspiracy and Control

The first commandment — limiting humanity to 500 million — sparked endless theories.
Was this a call for population reduction? A plan for a new world order?

Whispers grew that the Guidestones were the work of secret societies — the Freemasons, the Rosicrucians, or even the Illuminati.
Their anonymity only deepened the suspicion.

For decades, the stones stood as a silent warning — or perhaps a plan.

💥 The Fall of the Guidestones

In July 2022, the Guidestones were severely damaged in an explosion and later dismantled for safety.
With their destruction, the mystery only grew deeper.

• Who wanted them gone?
• Was the truth becoming too visible?
• Or had the prophecy served its purpose, no longer needing to remain?

Even in ruin, the Guidestones left behind questions humanity has yet to answer.

✍ Conclusion

The Georgia Guidestones were more than stone and inscription.
They were a mirror of fear and hope, conspiracy and prophecy.

Were they a call for balance with nature?
Or a cold plan for control, carved in granite for the chosen few?

Next time — another shard of hidden truth, waiting for you and me to uncover together.
I will return as your narrator.
