Description: The Carnac Stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic monuments discovered near the French village of Carnac.

 

The more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Most of the stones are within the French commune of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinité-sur-Mer.

 

The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC.

 

Equipment: Sony Alpha 100 (11mm ultra-wide)

Part of the series of menhirs aligned in a few fields in Carnac. Quite impressive even though we have no ideas why the people did it.

Until their importance was discovered, Les Alignments have been disturbed by local buildings.
