The stones of Carnac

Around the world, are many megalithic constructions that impress the men and that still currently many theories they weave themselves on as they could be raised with the technology and engineering of the epoch. A lot more old than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Egypt, are the Stones of Carnac.



The Menhires -as are used to calling them to the stones- they are found located in the region of Britain in France and they date from the Neolithic, being raised during many centuries. The Menhires of Carnac resemble avenues marked by large stones of diverse sizes, since the 90 centimeters to the 6 meters of height. Also him it can be compared with a regiment of stones, just as the French scholar expressed it Chevalier of Fréminville in the year 1827.

To this place on the outskirts of Britain him is considered the monument prehistórico more long of the world, since in many cases, the stones conform rows of to 8 kilometers of extension. On the whole, they have counted themselves more than 4000 stones, some they form rows and other spirals. The 40 hectares of surface and 4 kilometers of length of the place are divided into four areas: Him Ménec, Kermario, Kerlescan and Him Petit Ménec.

To the sides of these 11 rows the cromlecs are found: spirals of stones.

It is in Kermario where the solitary menhir be found called the “Giant of Manio” with a height of 6 meters.

Kerlescan is an alignment with a more reduced number of stones, so alone 540 distributed in 13 rows. Also counts on a cromlec of 39 menhires. In Petit Ménec, recently restored we find 100 menhires. By its little number of stones thinks that is an extension of Kerlescan.



In spite of the investigations carried out in the zone, not yet can be determined with reliability the reasons by which were raised these stones. Some of the theories they say that are traces of the great universal flood, remainders of a Roman camp, beacons for the navigation, avenues that conducted to temples that no longer exist, among others. Nevertheless, the theories that enjoy greater reception are the ones that refer to that is a matter of an astronomical complex and another referring one to a necropolis.
