Plus de 5 000 dolmens et autant de menhirs, dont les plus anciens furent édifiés il y a plus de six millénaires, ont survécu à l'épreuve du temps. La plupart des régions de France connurent ces tombeaux monumentaux préhistoriques, hauts lieux de la religion des premiers paysans. Cette promenade dans la France néolithique permet d'appréhender la longue histoire et la diversité d'une architecture qui, si elle peut paraître simple, se révèle d'une extrême complexité. Ces pierres dressées témoignent de l'organisation sociale et du monde religieux de populations qui se succédèrent pendant plus de deux mille ans sur un territoire qui deviendra la France. Dolmens et menhirs sont les premiers monuments que l'homme construisit pour honorer ses ancêtres et marquer son emprise de façon durable sur les terres dont il venait de prendre possession. Les morts ainsi honorés pouvaient user de leur pouvoir pour veiller sur les vivants.

On s’émerveille à Carnac, on s’émeut à Stonehenge. Mais à quoi donc servaient les étranges mégalithes qui ont comme poussé partout à l’ouest de l’Europe, du VIIIe au IIe millénaire avant notre ère ? Et pourquoi ces blocs ont-ils été érigés justement face à l’Atlantique ? Pour faire parler ces « grosses pierres », comme disait Flaubert, c’est une véritable « ethnologie du passé » que propose ici Jean-Pierre Mohen, convoquant géologie, géographie, science de l’ingénieur et des matériaux, chimie et même psychologie. Seule cette approche pluridisciplinaire permettra de comprendre ce qu’était la vie du « peuple des dolmens », ces premiers hommes sédentaires. C’est ce qu’offre cet ouvrage, qui nous fait voyager dans l’Europe côtière de la fin de la préhistoire, de la Scandinavie à l’Algarve, du Morbihan à l’Irlande. Jean-Pierre Mohen a été directeur du laboratoire de recherche des Musées de France et du département du patrimoine et des collections du musée du quai Branly, à Paris. Il dirige actuellement le chantier de rénovation du musée de l’Homme.

Why are some rocks simply tossed out of the way, while others, regardless of their size, are held as sacred, mysterious and imbued with power? Humans since the dawn of civilization have used stone to represent the holy, both by fashioning sacred symbols for themselves and by granting recognition to certain sites occurring naturally. Varner shares his love of nature lore, oral traditions, folklore and ancient religious structures that are still so abundant in the world, and offers insights on the history and the technology of these artifacts, while touching on the importance of preserving a sense of reverence in today's world. This study examines the universal appeal of sites from the Dome of the Rock and Stonehenge to sites sacred to the Inuit and the Cherokees, from the Middle East to the American Midwest and the English Midlands. Philosopher-historian Mircea Eliade wrote, "a rock reveals itself to be sacred because its very existence is a hierophany: incompressible, invulnerable, it is that which man is not. It resists time; its reality is coupled with perenniality." The properties of stone were recognized as unique early in humankind's rise to civilization. Even when cultures were transitioning their technologies from stone to metal, it was stone that was used for ritual and other important acts. Early 20th-century Egyptologist Wallis Budge wrote, "in a tomb of the VIth Dynasty at Sakkrah, when the Egyptians had a good knowledge of working in metals, we see in a painting on the wall the act of circumcision being performed on a youth by an operator who uses a flint knife." Little do the keepers of worry stones today realize that they are practicing one of the ancient traditions of transferring their problems to an inanimate object. This volume looks at customs and traditions from around the world, from the curious to the profound, related to stones large and small, from prehistory to today.

Excerpt: The Carnac stones are an exceptionally dense collection of megalithic sites around the French village of Carnac, in Brittany, consisting of alignments, dolmens, tumuli and single menhirs. The more than 3,000 prehistoric standing stones were hewn from local rock and erected by the pre-Celtic people of Brittany, and are the largest such collection in the world. Local tradition claims that the reason they stand in such perfectly straight lines is that they are a Roman legion turned to stone by Merlin or Saint Cornelius - Brittany has its own local versions of the Arthurian cycle. A Christian legend associated with the stones held that they were pagan soldiers in pursuit of Pope Cornelius when he turned them to stone. Most of the stones are within the Breton village of Carnac, but some to the east are within La Trinite-sur-Mer. The stones were erected at some stage during the Neolithic period, probably around 3300 BC, but some may date to as old as 4500 BC. In recent centuries, many of the sites have been neglected, with reports of dolmens being used as sheep shelters, chicken sheds or even ovens. Even more commonly, stones have been removed to make way for roads, or as building materials. The continuing management of the sites remains a controversial topic. There are three major groups of stone rows - Menec, Kermario and Kerlescan - which may have once formed a single group, but have been split up as stones were removed for other purposes....
