The Carnac Stones: France’s 6,000-Year-Old Mystery | Who Built Them?

For thousands of years, enormous stones have stood across the landscape of Brittany, France — arranged in mysterious rows and surrounded by prehistoric burial monuments. These are the Carnac Stones, one of Europe’s most remarkable prehistoric archaeological landscapes. Who built these massive stone alignments? How were enormous stones moved and erected thousands of years ago? And perhaps most importantly, why were they created? In this documentary, we travel deep into the history of Carnac and explore the famous alignments of Ménec, Kermario, and Kerlescan. We examine the Neolithic communities who created the monuments, the archaeological evidence surrounding them, the possible purposes of the stone alignments, and the legends that developed around them centuries later. But this is not a story about aliens or supernatural explanations. The real mystery is much more fascinating: prehistoric people created an enormous monumental landscape, yet left behind no written explanation of what it meant. Archaeology can reveal many things about Carnac — but some questions remain unanswered. What do you think the people of prehistoric Carnac were trying to say with these stones?
