A mythological culture of the engraved signs of megaliths in the Neolithic: the Atlantic grammar of a "path of the dead."

The study of the signs engraved on the megalithic monuments of the Atlantic façade, particularly in Morbihan, reveals the existence of a highly coherent symbolic system, reflecting a deep and shared mythological culture in the Neolithic. The recent interpretation, shifting the analysis from a purely agropastoral framework to a maritime and celestial context, allows for the deciphering of a complex narrative, a true "path of the dead" inscribed in stone.

After Carhaix and its "Pantheon" of Breton statues, Lorient wants to showcase interceltism year-round: eight works in project.

In Lorient, another emblematic city of Celtic cultures thanks to the Interceltic Festival, a comparable initiative is taking shape, but on the scale of the Celtic nations: the city had already inaugurated, on August 3, 2008, a statue of Polig Monjarret. Today, its promoters want to go further: to install eight statues of musicians from other Celtic countries, in order to make inter-Celticism visible on a daily basis.

Glaz, the soul of Brittany

"Glaz": blue, green, or gray. The identity of Brittany is a color. This color is that of the stormy sea.
