"Unveiling the Mysteries of Menhir: Standing Stones Across Europe" Journey through time and space as we explore the enigmatic world of menhirs, ancient standing stones that have captivated human imagination for centuries. From the majestic Standing Stones of Callanish on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides to the Pobull Fhinn Standing Stones on North Uist, these monolithic structures hold secrets waiting to be unraveled. Venturing further into history, we encounter the Menhir Section/Bossenno, where these towering stones were erected by our ancestors with purpose and meaning. Anthropomorphic stone stelae from Yamna Culture transport us back to a time between 36th-23rd century BC when these mystical figures stood tall in reverence. Witnessing architectural marvels like the 4000-year-old Gollenstein in Saarland, Germany, we are left awestruck by its grandeur as it proudly claims its title as central Europe's tallest menhir. The Menhirs of Carnac in Brittany, France take us on an extraordinary journey through Departement Morbihan where megalithic wonders dot the landscape. Crossing borders into Iberia, Portugal reveals The Alentejo region adorned with megalithic monuments such as Meada. Here lies a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship that has defied time itself. In Armenia's Syunik Province stands Zorats Karer (Carahunge), an array of standing stones known as menhirs that continue to bewilder archaeologists and visitors alike. Closer to home in Galicia, Spain's La Coruna province lies Torre de Hercules area with its own archaeological park featuring captivating menhirs steeped in history.
