France bulldozes 7,000-year-old historic stones to replace it with DIY store
(MENAFN) A lot of historical standing stones in southwest France have been flattened to open space for yet an additional retail outlet of a countrywide chain trading DIY goods, provoking disturbance between residents.
The ancient site of Montauban “has been destroyed,” with over 39 megalithic stones, some assessed to be almost 7,000 years old, lost, domestic archaeologist Christian Obeltz informed media this week.
The French commune of Carnac is well-known for thousands of alleged menhirs – standing stones established by neolithic people for reasons that to this day stay unknown. However, unlike the location’s major tourist attractions of Menec, Kermario as well as Kerlescan, which are part of a UNESCO list of world legacy sites – the set of stones in Montauban, only 1.5 kilometers away, has small ancient worth, in line with the domestic representatives.
