[11Alive] Authorities are investigating after an explosion destroyed the Georgia Guidestones in Elbert County, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. They said "unknown individuals" detonated an explosive device at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The Elbert County Sheriff’s Office responded to discover the explosion destroyed a large portion of the structure, they said.
According to multiple people nearby, the explosion was heard in the area and even shook their homes. Some shared images showing debris near the stones.
The meaning behind the mysterious 19-foot monoliths has been unclear since the structure was built in 1979.
No one knows exactly what the granite slabs are doing in the middle of a cow pasture - or who who put them there more than 40 years ago.
The Guidestones are about 100 miles from Atlanta in the northeast corner of the state -- not far from the South Carolina border.
