There's a dust-up going on over in Carnac France over the removal of some large stones thought to be menhirs to make way for a DIY hardware store. To make it clear, these stones were not part of the main Carnac site which I believe is under UNESCO protection. It's not even clear if these stones were really associated with the Carnac monuments themselves. But never mind. The mayor who gave the OK for the demolition is catching all sorts of flack including death threats and politicians are trying to make hay out of it all.
I guess my question is how long does a sacred site stay sacred if it's no longer in use and nobody remembers what was done there? Is there karmic blowback if you know the site may have been important at one time but go ahead and build your hardware store anyway? Or is the controversy in France all just a tempest in an etheric teapot, especially given that nobody knows if the removed stones were really part of the Carnac complex or just something that somebody erected at a later time for non-sacred purposes?
