History: An Exploration of Overlooked Historical Events ; Tuesday ; Period 3
The class was back in the Danger Shop today and Riley was at the front of the room, waiting. He was a little tired because woken up way too early when he'd found a herd of tiny white horses in his living. And they did not want to leave either.
"Welcome back," he said around a yawn. "Today, we're learning about something a little closer to him. We're going to Elbert Country in Georgia to see what's commonly called America's Stonehenge. Riley held up a picture.
"These are the Georgia Guidestones. Compared to other things we've talked about, these things are really, really new. They were only erected in 1979. They're are ten guidelines carved in English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Chinese and Russian. The guidelines are: Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature, guide reproduction wisely — improving fitness and diversity, unite humanity with a living new language, rule passion — faith — tradition — and all things with tempered reason, protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts, let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court, avoid petty laws and useless officials, balance personal rights with social duties, prize truth — beauty — love — seeking harmony with the infinite, and be not a cancer on the earth — Leave room for nature — Leave room for nature."
Riley stopped and passed out a worksheet with the guidelines listed on them. "These guidestones are supposed to lead to an Age of Reason. The creators are just known as a small group of Americans who want the Age of Reason."
With the lecture mostly over, Riley flipped the sim on. "So, we're going to take a look at the Georgia Guidestones. Take a look at the carvings, the astronomical symbols, think on them and wonder if they really could lead to an Age of Reason."
And then he sent the students on their way.
