Abstract

The article "Mystery of the Menhirs" from France Today explores the ancient wonders of the Carnac alignments in southern Morbihan, Brittany. The site features 3,000 megalithic stones, known as menhirs, arranged in rows and various formations like dolmens and tumuli. Archaeologists estimate that these stones were erected between 4,500 BC and 3,500 BC by early farming communities. The purpose of these standing stones remains a mystery, with theories ranging from religious monuments to territorial boundaries. Visitors can explore the site and ponder its enigmatic history, offering a unique glimpse into prehistoric times. [Extracted from the article]
