Georgia Guidestones Decoded: Translating the Akkadian Language ("Babylonian Cuneiform") Inscription
What did the Akkadian inscription of the Georgia Guidestones say? In this video, I read and provide my own translation of what the ancient Akkadian portion of the inscription says, or at least is trying to say (I would have created a different translation for the Akkadian portion of the Guidestone). I suspect that the translator swapped the English with Akkadian words from a dictionary, when a better method would have been to follow the natural patterns of text in similar statements that we've discovered are prevalent in Akkadian..
The recently destroyed Georgia Guidestones were a series of 4 large monolithic stones bearing 8 inscriptions in modern languages. A headstone above had a short inscription in four languages: Greek, Egyptian, Sanskrit, and "Babylonian Cuneiform". What the monument site referred to as Babylonian Cuneiform is generally otherwise referred to as Akkadian, the language of ancient Babylonian and Assyria.

What a precious channel, Prof. Wingert! BRAVO!!! Nearly ten years ago, I fell in love with the four Mesopotamian civilizations (Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, and, especially, the Assyrians). Unfortunately, this happened too late, for I am way too old, and lack the financial means to embark on such a wondrous project! If only I were thirty years younger, I would pursue a Master's degree in the Akkadian language alongside Mesopotamian History (with emphasis on the Neo-Assyrian Empire: 911-612/09 BCE). I am rather fond of the Sargonid dynasty, particularly Sennacherib and Assurbanipal. Looking forward to checking all your videos. Cheers!

The Arabic cognate of the Akkadian Hassis is Hassas, essentially the same meaning

Yes, that's a good point. It is an interesting possibility. Usually ح is represented in Akkadian with a long vowel (usually ē class), but the خ tends to be represented by the ḫ in transliteration. That of course is not a hard rule, so your suggestion of حساس is probably right.

So Akkadian has the different Hs we see in Arabic then. Is that right?
I think the differences were intentional, because each side seems to add a bit more meaning than that to each of the top sides.

I'd like to explore the Ancient Egyptian (and possibly Sanskrit) in another video, then maybe compare the differences between all versions.
Fascinating linguistic insights. Probably built by Rosicrucians.

I think the original probably read something more like: "You don't tug on Superman's cape. You don't spit into the wind. You don't pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger. And you don't mess around with Jim"

Haha close. Demotic with a T. It is the language of the demos (the people, like in "demo-cracy"), so less formalized than the other traditions of the language.
To paraphrase Irving Finkel there's nothing to decode because it's not a code. It's a complete language that's dull of richness and nuance. You cant figure this out with a decoder ring from a cereal box. Have some respect for the dead.
Back with new information. So, as stated from before, it was meant for a future that'll never come to pass, that much we know sure but on the other side of the coin...it reads like a riddle. Most reads of whats on the surface but it goes much much deeper then that. First you'll notice the location R.C. has chosen, why here of all places? Was it the layline runs near by? Nope, look at the state. It's sits right on the edge of the Bible belt states. Secondly, in order to solve the riddle, read in bewteen the lines to get a bigger picture and it'll become clear as day. Thirdly, the rocks are mocking Moses's 10 commandments and that too is a clue on how to solve the riddle. That's it, that is every clue needed to solve the riddle. Good luck.

I don't really have a narrative about the Georgia Guidestones. I'm more interested in them for their value as a monument with multilingual inscriptions. If you're interested in the topic of monumentality, take a peak of the (early) podcast I did with Dr. Tim Hogue on the subject: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iXaT0cpvo9GtndI.html
