deciphering the beliefs embedded in the design of megalithic constructions

A groundbreaking study reveals strong links between megalithic constructions at Carnac and the worship of celestial objects, particularly Venus, the sun, and specific moon phases. The research identifies an 8-year cycle where these celestial configurations align with the site's bearings, suggesting a sophisticated understanding of astronomy by ancient builders. Additionally, bands of lower earth magnetic intensity were detected, likely marking sacred locations used by shamans for ceremonies. The study deciphers common beliefs embedded in alignments and cairns, classifying them as ceremonial, observatory, and calendar sites. This challenges previous interpretations of these structures solely as tombs or temples.
