About this episode
In Brittany near Carnac, Le Plasker reveals a time-spanning story: a Mesolithic hut dating to about 5700 BC was abandoned for 300 years, then a Neolithic tomb was built atop the old ditch. Rather than a quiet cemetery, the site becomes a living landscape: 46 granite blocks were scattered to fashion an artificial rocky landscape that made the ridge look untouched, with hearths and cooking pits aligned with the monuments, showing people gathering here across centuries. This episode rethinks megalithic sites as dynamic places that connect the living, the dead, and the sky, offering a fresh view of memory and landscape.
