Dolmen de Lostmarc'h's Astronomical Alignments Unveiled

The Dolmen de Lostmarc'h, located in Crozon, Brittany, has been found to exhibit precise astronomical alignments, particularly with the summer solstice sunrise and winter solstice sunset. These alignments suggest that the dolmen was intentionally constructed to mark significant solar events, reflecting the advanced understanding of celestial movements by its builders. The precision of these alignments, with deviations as low as 0.2 km, indicates a sophisticated level of planning and knowledge. This discovery aligns with broader patterns observed in the Carnac region, where megalithic monuments often exhibit alignments with solar and lunar events. For instance, recent studies have dated parts of the Carnac alignments to between 4600 and 4300 cal BC, confirming the Bay of Morbihan as the earliest megalithic region in Europe.
