Mysterious stone statues of prehistoric stone in France

In northwestern France, there is a mysterious 'stone statues' area that attracts many archaeologists to learn decoding. That 'stone statue' belongs to the village of Carnac, which has 4,000 inhabitants, in the Brittany region, including a hill with a system of more than 3,000 vertical boulders.

More than 3,000 standing boulders are arranged in 13 lines, stretching over 12km. Until now, scientists have not found the correct, convincing answer why the ancient people built these stones in such a way, only that they were created by prehistoric people, from many thousand years ago.

There are scientists who say that the rocks are buried to create a divine path, where the gods go. There is also a more complex theory that proves that rocks are some structure for astronomical research, defining sunlight, the moon, and celestial bodies in the universe.

However, the legend that the Carnac people recount is completely different. The story is, every stone is a Roman warrior. Accordingly, St. Christian used his power to turn the Roman army marching through here into rocks.

By modern means, scientists claim that this megalithic area was built in a very long time, from 7,000 to 4,000 years ago, that is, it was built continuously for 3,000 years. The construction process is long, over a large area, making Carnac village the land with the largest megalithic system in the world.

All standing stones are monolithic and monolithic. The size of the stones is also different. There was a stone just 1 meter tall, but it had a height of 20 meters. Most of the stones are engraved with simple shapes. Most triangles, the symbol that ancient Celta used, meant Christianity. This symbol also shows the harmony of the universe.

Recently, scientists are hypothesizing that this is a huge graveyard. Ancient prehistoric people can bury their bodies elsewhere, or animals lose their bodies and they plug a rock to show their remembrance. People just look at the blocks of stone to know the identity of the dead. The poor only have small stones, but the rich are remembered by giant stones, weighing tens of tons.

For thousands of years, residents in limestone quarrying areas have built houses, so the ancient graveyard has shrunk considerably. Without human infestation, the size of this megalithic area is so large that it is unimaginable, so many times more than the present.
