The granite monument in the US state of Georgia was seen as satanic by some people.
The damaged monument was later completely demolished "for safety reason", Georgia's state authorities said
Despite being built in 1980, the monument has been nicknamed "America's Stonehenge", a reference to the prehistoric landmark in the UK.The 19ft-high structure near Elberton, east of Atlanta, was commissioned by a person or a group under the pseudonym RC Christian. One crowd member, a local pastor, immediately professed his belief that the stones were built for cult and devil worship because of its similar appearance to Stonehenge.On each side of the capstone, engraved in four ancient languages - Babylonian cuneiform, Classical Greek, Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphic - were the words: "Let these be guidestones to an Age of Reason."
