WHAT ARE THE CARNAK
STANDING STONES?
The Carnak Standing Stones are in the Timeline at 7000 years
ago, according to traditional scholars this is the probable date ranging up to
4,000 years ago. I just don’t think
Carnak is that young. If it had been
built at 4,000 years ago, written history would have noted it or the Greeks and
Egyptians would have documented it. No
way.
The age of the Carnak stones is actually unknown. I read that they actually extend out into the
sea shelf now underwater but probably was dry land during the Pleistocene. This would date them as prior to 14,000 years
ago, prior to the first meltwater pulse.
This puts them in the megalithic culture, the stonemasons, the ancients
who knew how to hew and place huge stones.
There are some 3,000 remaining
visible stones that extend for 8 miles.

What was Carnak?
Local legends say giants built it, or it was a dangerous Roman army
frozen by a local sorcerer or nobody really knows who built it. Giants again?
The legends keep popping up. Why
not Giants in the Pleistocene? There
were giant horses and camels and elephants.
Why not giant humans?
But back to the question of what was Carnak?
I read an account that solstice, equinox and moon movements
were traceable through the orientation of the rocks, every which way and all
you need to know is which ones. Another
account said the Carnak rocks were actually star sky trajectories that lead to
specific locations on the planet, like the Orkney Islands, England, North America, Cuba, South America, and all you had to know was how to take a
sighting along the star line leading to your destination and sight your sailing
by the stars to go and return. You could sight your way to the Bermuda Rise,
which used to be an island when the seas were low during the Ice Age. I think that Gobleki Tepi in Turkey serves
the same purpose of sighting trajectories for travelers. The history of humanity is centered on
travel, migration, trade and invasions so why would the ‘spiritual’ rule,
rather than the practical when building huge structures?
Carnac is situated beyond a bay that looks like an ancient
crater, with the raised outer edge protecting the harbor, which dropped off
deep at a certain point, a perfect mooring for large vessels. Beyond the bay is the wild Atlantic and
probably the lost city of Atlantis. I
think Carnak dates from the time of Atlantis, during the Bolling Allerod. It may have been used by the Phoenicians as a
route setting harbor, but nobody knows.
The Phoenicians were secretive about their trading posts and travel and
did not share maps or knowledge.
What is Carnak? I
don’t know. Was it part of
Atlantis? Did the Megalith culture go
from Atlantis to the Continent or was Atlantis a colony of the mainland, rather
like the USA? The Greeks insist that
Atlantis warred on those inside the Mediterranean Sea, which would indicate a
date of after the modern Mediterranean Sea was formed. Plato
puts the demise of Atlantis at about 11,650 years ago, well after the first
meltwater flood of 14,000 years ago.
That was plenty of time for seafaring cultures to develop and invade the
Mediterranean Sea. Plenty of time for
wars to be fought and forgotten.
That part of the world is heavy with prehistory, home to the
Lascaux Cave Paintings, numerous dolmen, megalithic structures, Neanderthal /
Heidelbergensis phenotype remains, as well as more modern artifacts like
Chatelperronnian Neanderthal Sapiens generated tool kit.
In later years home to the Celts. Did they know the purpose of Carnak? I think the knowledge was lost by then and that
it was initially lost during the cataclysm that sunk Atlantis, some 11,650 BP
but it remained a remnant of physical presence without any meaning
remaining. I wonder if the world shifted
at that time, leaving the ancient searfaring knowledge represented by Carnak to
be now in need of correction. Is that
why there are so many rows and the rows are so long? I count 11 rows which makes me think of moon things. Seafaring by moon position would be possible
but would require an intimate knowledge of the moon 18 year cycle. What could the 18 year moon cycle be used
for? To predict tides? To predict harbor accessibility? To predict fishing runs?

I wonder if all the Carnak stones were originally artwork, but are now
eroded.
A transition to later times shows Carnak still standing but nobody living
knows what it meant because it was part of the Ice Age civilization that
perished during the first meltwater pulse 14,000 years ago. As the climate warmed into modern times the
Vikings and doubtless other seafarers spread out colonizing, raiding and
spreading ideas.
The prolific times of the warming of 8,000 to 4,000 produced the reestablishment
of ancient contacts remembered from antiquity, like the Legend of the Northwest
Passage. This is 2019 and it is a warm
year so far and maybe it will open up again like it was 130,000 years ago. Inland empires competed and the horsemen
migrated and the Silk Road filled with travelers.
