Menhirs: (from Breton language “men” and “hir”, meaning “long stone”) they are megalith, usually dating back to prehistory (Neolithic Age, Prehistoric Era). They could reach over 20 mt. height, stood isolated or in groups, with different sizes. Their shapes were usually (not always) squared, sometimes tapering on top. They were erected throughout different periods of the Prehistoric era and witness the  megalithic culture spread all over Europe and beyond. Some experts conjecture that these statues were located in order to give orientation on the phases of the moon. Others believe they had a spiritual meaning. Some others suppose they symbolize the male divinity and fertility.
