1725 FR - Megaliths of Carnac and of the shores of Morbihan (2025)

Megaliths of Carnac and of the shores of Morbihan

This serial property in Brittany, France, features a dense concentration of megalithic structures built during the Neolithic period (c. 5000–2300 BCE), carefully aligned with the area’s unique geomorphology. These monumental stone constructions—arranged in relation to one another and to natural features like terrain and waterways—reflect a sophisticated understanding of the environment. Rich engravings and associated artifacts further illustrate the cultural complexity of the societies that inhabited this part of the European Atlantic coast.

这处位于法国布列塔尼大区的系列遗产，集中分布着大量造于新石器时代（约公元前5000-前2300年）的巨石遗迹，其布局与当地独特的地貌巧妙呼应。这些宏伟石构建筑既彼此协调排列，又呼应地形走势或水道流向，体现出先民对环境的深刻认知。遗址中丰富的刻纹及器物进一步展示了欧洲大西洋沿岸这一地区的社会文化复杂性。
