The Guidestones
The main component of the monument would be four enormous rectangular slabs of granite. These were so big that they had to be specially cut at a local quarry. The guide stones are 19 foot three inches tall, and they weigh a hundred and 19 tons. There are also other pieces of the monument, apparently including support stones that serve as bases for the main ones but you can't see them bcause they're underground.
