Extract:
CARNAC, France - The rows of ancient standing stones stretch more than 900
metres amid the rolling countryside of southern Brittany.
Jutting out of the ground in a variety of bizarre shapes - some look like whale
heads covered with moss and lichen, others like abstract sculptures carved by
the wind and rain over the millennia - the nearly 1,100 stones form an
extraordinary panorama.
Visitors are left to wander up and down the rows of the Menec Alignments just
north of the village of Carnac and ponder big questions: who put these stones
here, how did they manage to do it (the stones stand up to 3 1/2 metres tall and
weigh several tonnes) and, most puzzling of all, why did they go to all the
trouble?
Brittany, in the northwest corner of France, has some of Europe's most important
prehistoric monuments, ranging from the alignments of Carnac to massive single
stones and tombs decorated with elaborate carvings.
While certain types of monuments can also be found in Portugal, Ireland,
Scotland and elsewhere, "in Brittany you have a concentration of all the kinds
of architecture," says Serge Cassen, an expert on prehistoric megaliths who
directs a research lab at nearby Nantes University.
As for standing stones - known as "menhirs" - there is nothing elsewhere on the
scale of Carnac, which altogether comprises close to 3,000 stones in several
different sets of alignments, says Cassen.
About 15 kilometres east of Carnac, the archeological site of Locmariaquer
features a 20-metre-long, 300-tonne menhir - the largest prehistoric monument of
its kind in western Europe. Toppled over long ago and now lying broken in four
pieces, it is an awesome sight, suggestive of some enormous shapeless beast
lying dead on the ground.
Next to it is a neolithic tomb with a small entryway, requiring visitors to bend
down, that leads to a 2 1/2-metre-high chamber. Carvings of an axe and an
ox-like creature are clearly visible on the ceiling.

area is at
