The four large upright #granite slabs that compose the face of the structure are oriented to the limits of the moon's migration during the course of the year. An eye-level, oblique hole is drilled in the Gnomen stone upward toward the celestial heavens and oriented on #Polaris, the #NorthStar. In the middle of the Gnomen stone is a large slot with a hole cut through the granite, orienting the monument with summer and winter #solstices. The Guidestones also act as an enormous sundial. Drilled through the capstone is a seven-eighths-inch hole, which allows sunlight to shine on the southern face of the Gnomen #stone at noon.
