Older than Stonehenge

This summer I went to Carnac on the north west coast of France. I hadn't heard of Carnac the place. When I heard it the first time I thought my friends were talking about the Johnny Carson skit he used to do. I started to imitate Johnny when I was corrected that it was a place nearby. My girlfriend and I were on vacation in Rennes with a home exchange and two of our English friends came down to visit.
So we got in the car and drove to Carnac on the coast of France. Just a couple of hours away. Well, Carnac is an amazing place. It has thousands of stones in strange formations. Here were are in front of them.
They are dated older than Stonehenge and they number around 3000. When we got back home that night I looked it up on Google Earth and the area with large stones are blacked out. I thought only governments could do this due to national secrets. What secret is being hidden here? However, today there is no blacked out area.
We did some group meditating and it was a mind expanding time. The whole Brittany area of France is so amazing. We enjoyed visiting Carnac and wish to come back during the fall and winter when you are allowed to walk through the stones. During the summer they don't allow walking through the stones due to eroding of the grass.
