Menhirs

Menhirs are large upright stones that were placed vertically by ancient peoples, often during the prehistoric period. They can vary in size from a few feet to over 20 meters tall and are found mainly across Europe and Africa. While their exact purpose remains a mystery, they likely served religious, ceremonial, or astronomical functions, marking important locations or events. Menhirs are notable for their impressive size and craftsmanship, reflecting the organizational skills and cultural significance attributed to these monumental structures by their creators.
