#wtf RENNES, #France (AFP) — Around 40 #standing #stones thought to have been erected by #prehistoric #humans 7,000 years ago have been #destroyed near a famed archaeological site in northwest France to make way for a DIY store, an angry local historian has revealed.
The stones in #Carnac were between 50-100 centimeters (20-40 inches) high and stood close to the main highly protected areas of one of Europe’s largest and most mysterious pre-historic tourist attractions.
“The site has been destroyed,” local archaeologist Christian Obeltz told AFP on Wednesday, having revealed the clearance of the land in the Ouest-France newspaper.
He believes 39 standing stones — known as menhirs — have been lost, estimating their age to be around 7,000 years based on carbon dating conducted on stones nearby in 2010.
The land was granted a building permit from the local mayor’s office in August last year and DIY chain Mr. Bricolage is currently building a new store there.
Mayor Olivier Lepick told AFP that he had “followed the law” and pointed to the “low archaeological value” of objects found during checks before the construction process began.
The land was not situated in a protected area and had been earmarked for commercial use, he added.
Carnac is famed for its vast fields of stone megaliths which stand in long lines close to the Atlantic coast in the windswept Brittany region.
There are around 3,000 of them on the two main protected areas which extend over more than six kilometers (four miles).
The stones are thought to have had a sacred and funereal function, although various theories exist.

« Je sais bien que tu ne m’aimes pas » a dit Hélène, sans prévenir. « Pas du tout » , lui ai-je rétorqué. Je n’y croyais pas moi-même. « Ça n’est pas grave. Je pense que je ne t’aime pas non plus ». Nous avons pris le bus jusqu’à la place Sainte-Anne. Ça sentait les pieds et les cosmétiques. Avec la nuit, les terrasses se sont remplies. On respirait un peu, malgré l’absence de vent. « Je veux qu’on retourne à Carnac » a déclaré Hélène, « après on se sépare » J’ai dit : « Oui. » Je n’ai plus parlé durant le repas. Je rêvais du port dans la brume, de m’allonger au milieu les mégalithes bien alignés et sentir l’odeur suave des fougères. J’avais envie d’un avis de tempête, de voir l’océan devenir sombre, la houle se creuser et se couvrir de blanc.
