The stone rows of Carnac are a well-known tourist attraction in Brittany. But what was the primary purpose of this Stone Age monument?

There are many speculations about Carnac's stones rows. Which interpretation is the most convincing?

The construction of the stone rows at Carnac must have been an enormous effort for the people of the time. Such a feat requires a large tribal group that was able and willing to coordinate its activities. And there must have been an outstanding reason to create such a special structure.

The prehistoric site of Merrivale on Dartmoor in southern England is less well-known than Stonehenge or Carnac, but it has no less to offer: Visitors can marvel at stone circles and stone rows, several menhirs, a burial chamber, a large number of foundations of ancient huts and a kilometer-long embankment.
