Le Menec.

Carnac.

Les scientifiques s’interrogent toujours sur la vocation de ces mégalithes. Monuments funéraires ? Temples astronomiques dédiés au culte du soleil ? Barrage « symbolique » pour se protéger de la mer ? Calendrier agraire ajusté sur les levers héliaques ou solaires…? Ces pierres dressées gardent leur part de mystère.

Scientists are still wondering about the purpose of these megaliths. Funerary monuments? Astronomical temples dedicated to the worship of the sun? «Symbolic» dam to protect oneself from the sea? Agrarian calendar adjusted on heliacal or solar rising …? Standing stones keep their part of mystery.

Absolutely fascinating. History and mystery in one beautifully captured image. I'm sure Nat Geo or Discovery will do a special on them (if they haven't already). It must have been magical to see this in person.

Stunning shot, especially with the autumn colours of the grass. A mesmerizing site, as all the old neolithic sites are. In your photo, this place is full of mystery and beauty. VVV

an ancient mystery in a golden field...the lines of stones suggest a sidereal observatory...celestial alignments were noted by Alexander Thom...still it is enough to just marvel at the site..

So special and we don't know everything (happily) admiring is enough when I see this all. BV

If only stones could speak, what a story they would tell! In the meantime, I like all your guesses.

A wonderful capture of this mysterious scene. Isn’t it a good thing that we don’t know all mysteries...? V
