Karnak is a temple in Egypt and Carnac is an ancient stone circle in Scotland. I see a connection.
Although badly ruined, no site in Egypt is more impressive than Karnak. It is the largest temple complex ever built by man, and represents the combined achievement of many generations of ancient builders. The Temple of Karnak is actually three main temples, smaller enclosed temples, and several outer temples located about three kilometers north of Luxor, Egypt. Karnak is actually the site’s modern name. Its ancient name was Ipet-isut, meaning “The Most Select (or Sacred) of All Places.” The temple lay enclosed behind massive walls and huge gates (originally made of gold); it was a vast complex or related sanctuaries, chambers, halls and courtyards. Under Rameses III, the temple at Karnak owned 433 gardens, 83 boats, 46 construction yards, 924 square miles of fields, and a65 (?) small market towns with a staff of over 60,000 priests/sages!
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.[1] 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.[2][3][4]

Okay, in the last few quotes, we've discovered that The Temple of Karnak in Egypt is the largest temple complex ever built by man. And, we've found that the French village of Carnac has the largest collection of standing stones ever assembled.

That's a coincidence, because I did not watch anything on the BBC!

I'm irritated by the fact that every damn ancient structure with signs of civilization being labeled as a "temple" by these so called expert archeologists WTF. Are we supposed to believe that these ancient people with advance knowledge of mathematics, astrology, geografi spent all their spare time praying?
