Was CARNAC A Huge Astronomical Observatory?

The enigmatic Carnac alignments in France make up one of the most ancient and unusual megalithic sites in Europe. Stretching for several kilometres, the complex includes more than 3,000 standing stones, as well as dolmens and burial mounds. Some researchers think the Carnac alignments were part of a huge megalithic observatory connected to other sites in the area. But if this is true, what role did the many other megaliths on the Atlantic coast, from Iberia to Ireland, play in the Neolithic? Were they also astronomical observatories and if so why are they so different in outward appearance? The Carnac alignments are in Brittany, an area with other famous Neolithic monuments such as the Locmariaquer megaliths and the Gavrinis passage tomb. One enormous megalith referred to as the Broken Menhir of Er Grah would have stood at twenty metres tall before it collapsed and broke into four pieces around six thousand years ago. The area is also home to some of the best examples of megalithic art. In this video I explore what's known about the Carnac alignments and other monuments in that part of northwestern France and discuss a research paper that suggests the megalith building tradition may have originated there. #ancienthistory #Carnac #France #megalithic ✨ IN THIS EPISODE 00:00 Introduction 00:36 The Atlantic Route 02:20 Stone Rows 05:01 As Astronomical Function 06:58 A Megalithic Landscape 06:58 A Megalithic Landscape 09:18 Origins of Megalithism ✨ SUPPORT VIA PATREON   / megalithhunter   ✨ FOLLOW ME ON SOCIALS Instagram & Facebook: @MegalithHunter Twitter: @Megalith_Hunter ✨ REFERENCES Carnac Tourism includes maps of the sites and access information: https://www.carnactourism.co.uk/ Schulz Paulsson, B., 2019.
