EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing "Alignment of Standing Stones" in Carnac, Brittany, France. Dating back to the 4th-3rd millennium BC, these ancient megalithic structures have stood the test of time as a testament to human ingenuity and spirituality. Comprising an astounding 2730 standing and fallen menhirs, this monumental arrangement is believed to have served a profound purpose. Renowned archaeologist Le Rousic theorized that these stones were meticulously aligned with astronomical precision. They were thought to indicate the direction of sunrise during solstices and equinoxes, serving as celestial markers for important ceremonies within the ancient cult of solar worship. The sheer scale and meticulous placement of these stones evoke a sense of wonderment about our ancestors' connection with nature and their quest for cosmic harmony. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when humans sought meaning beyond themselves. Captured in exquisite detail by Prehistoric, this image invites us to contemplate our place in history while marveling at the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later, their achievements continue to inspire awe and ignite curiosity about our shared past.
