The Georgia Guidestones 30 Minute Expert

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... The Georgia Guidestones! This topic came in as a suggestion, and neither Zack nor Katie knew what it/they were, which is just how we like it. Learning is the name of the game, after all! But what's the name of the group that paid for and erected the Georgia Guidestones? You heard it here first, folks, we cracked the case and it was......... Okay, well we didn't actually crack that case. But we did learn a whole lot about a fascinating monument built in Georgia in 1980 by a secret group with an odd message for us all. Dive in for a thrilling tale of how "R.C. Christian" showed up in Georgia and really shook up a little town. Whether the guidelines written in eight different languages on the stones are applicable to modern life or simply directions for post-apocalyptic humans is for you to decide. But we will leave you with the ninth guideline: "Prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite." Grammatically correct? No. Touching in its own weird way? Yes.
 
Highlights include: 
- A covert group of rich people built a monument!
- 100 tons of granite! Yikes!
- A mysteriously absent time capsule - or is it??
