Carnac's Megaliths
These granite megaliths form one of many Bronze Age monuments in Carnac, France. Experts question the origin and purpose of the stones, although their mysterious configurations are generally considered to be the work of Druids, members of a Celtic religious group that was prevalent from the 2nd century bc until the 2nd century ad.
