Get a load of this!
Some man, who wishes to remain anonymous (and could possibly be dead), commissioned this 16′ monument to be built on a hill in Elbert County, Georgia. It reads the same in 8 languages (including Russian, English, Swahili and Arabic), plots the suns movement to calculate dates, follows the north star, and gives advice to our post apocalyptic survivors (500,000,000 persons population cap, free of charge).
I don’t care if you think this is some of the Devil’s work, a cult sign, or even a landing pad for aliens (check the read link, people do) you have to admit it IS impressive, not only because of its size, but also due to the precision that would have been used for it to work as it does.
Check the read link for more, you can even download the original 1981 Wired article.
