I'm still confused with the explanations between A and B.
Why can't the intention of the sentence mean both monuments in Brittany and monuments in Mediterranean are the same age, which is 2000 years old?
So the original sentence could mean the monuments in Brittany are 2000 years old, as same as the monuments in Mediterranean are.

Hello likitwill,
We hope this finds you well.
To answer your query, the sentence formed by Option A uses the unidiomatic construction "2,000 years as old as", producing an incoherent meaning.
We hope this helps.
All the best!

If I write, "Tim is as old as John," I'm communicating that Tim and John are the same age.
If I write, "Tim is ten years older than John," I'm communicating that Tim is older.
If I write, "Tim is ten years as old as John," it's not clear what I'm saying. One person, in theory, could be ten times as old as someone else. But "ten years as old as?" That's nonsense.
This is effectively what we have in (A). Because it's illogical, we can eliminate it.
I hope that helps!
. You're exactly right.
