SKARA BRAE

North of Scotland are the Orkney Islands.  On a windswept bluff above the North Atlantic, archaeologists have unearthed an intact Neolithic village of farmers and cattle herders that’s 5,000 years old (3200 BC) – centuries older than the Pyramids of Egypt.  Their homes had beds, chairs, cupboards, flush toilets, running water, cozy, warm, and comfortable.

What you see here is just one section of the village.  What I found particularly interesting was this sign at the entrance to the site.

These villagers enjoyed a warmer climate than today, more fertile land.  Skara Brae is a 5,000 year-old refutation of the Global Warming Hoax.  If you ever get to Scotland, be sure the Orkneys are on your itinerary.  Skara Brae is only one of the places you’ll find fascinating.  (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #210 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
