An explosion has damaged the Georgia Guidestones — a granite monument often referred to as “America’s Stonehenge” — investigators say.
Law enforcement agencies were looking for clues into the blast at the rural site east of the US city of Atlanta on Wednesday morning.
A large part of the structure was destroyed when “unknown individuals detonated an explosive device,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said on its Twitter feed.
The Elberton Granite Association, which maintains and preserves the stones, has put the cost of replacing them at hundreds of thousands of dollars, WHNS reported.
Both the chamber and ExploreGeorgia.org refers to the monument as America’s Stonehenge, although the moniker is also used to describe an archeological site of stone structures in Salem, New Hampshire.
Stonehenge, a prehistoric landmark on the Salisbury Plaine in Wiltshire, England, is believed to date back to 3000BC.
