The MEGALITHICA analysis reveals nine precise alignments between Île Béniguet I and nearby sites, predominantly on Île-Molène, corresponding to significant solar and lunar events. Notably, alignments such as NORD EST EGLISE and LE ROELEN BEG AN DALBEN on Île-Molène with Île Béniguet I coincide with Winter Solstice Sunrises around 10,318 BCE and 9,558 BCE, respectively. These findings suggest a deliberate spatial and temporal relationship between these prehistoric sites, potentially indicating a shared cultural or ritualistic significance tied to celestial events.
