Despite it being there literally since I was conceived, I've never heard of this monument before. Its a nice little oddity though, one that I've researching since I heard of it.
Supposedly the monument is a wayshrine of sorts created by a group who are working towards a one world government. On its four giant stone slabs are 10 "Commandments" in 8 different languages which seem to be this organization's credo:
Quote:
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.
Its not my place to determine what is fact or fiction concerning these things, but their existence is damn strange nonetheless. Obviously someone put a great deal of effort into getting these things made and erected despite several groups' efforts to have them removed. I can only assume they are there for a reason and hopefully we find out what that reason is before its lost to history, much like Stonehenge.

You mentioned 8 languages. What are the other seven? Anyway, that's creepy.

This is the one instance where I would condone vandalism and graffitti. Damn hippies.

I'm just thinking about the logistics, and the more I think about it, the more bizzarre it gets. First, there was this guy who went by a fake name that thought this up. Then come the people who believed it enough that they decided to help him build this thing. And finally there is the State/County office that issued a building permit for that monument. I'm not sure what all this means, but all I have to say is "Only in Georgia." :cheeky:
P.S.: I suppose it's not entirely bogus from a forward-thinking standpoint, but it's still creepy.

I find it hard to get behind any religious movement that calls for the elimination of 5.5 billion humans (and counting).

Once you get past #s 1 and 2 it's a lot less creepy than the stuff (

"One drop on your toothbrush with a few drops of Neutralizer will CLEAN your teeth."
Neutaralizer for soap? WTF!
And guess what, using a toothbrush with nothing on it will clean your teeth too. Now that's a miracle!

It doesn't specifically call for elimination, so maybe I can go far as to hypothetically assume that what's implied is population reduction via catastrophic event(s). I try to give it a benefit of my doubt, seeing how it's supposedly meant for generations belonging to an uncertain future. However, the notion of capping population growth definitely raises some questions regarding implementation.

Almost. They'd need to advertise the soap on 20-ton stone slabs to be anywhere near as creepy ;)
(and as a disclaimer, I referenced that site because it had a pretty picture and decent description of the monument, not because I care about their content)

Well, I have heard that the world governments are stockpiling a limited supply of bird flu vaccine in case of world-wide infection, so there you go.
The bird flu is going to kill off 92% of humanity before 2015... you heard it here first!

Well then, guess I'd better get to work on shoring up the ol' immune system!
