The account
It was aligned to the sun and Polaris and attracted conspiracy theories about a 'new world order'. In July 2022 it was damaged by a bomb and then demolished.
The sceptical view
The sponsor was later identified as Herbert Kersten, a doctor with Rosicrucian interests; the stones were not a secret society plan.
