Timeline

Origin and history

The 2 Menhirs of Tannois are a megalithic site located in the commune of Tannois, in the Grand Est region. These erect stones, typical of the Neolithic, bear witness to ancient cultural practices, although their precise dating is not mentioned in the available sources. Their presence suggests an ancient human occupation in this geographical area.

Menhirs, prehistoric monuments, were often erected for ritual, funeral or symbolic reasons. In the Great East, as in other parts of France, these structures sometimes marked gathering places or landmarks in the landscape. Their study provides a better understanding of the companies that built them, although the information specific to these two menhirs remains limited.
