- Summary:
- On the northern fringe of Scotland, in the Orkney Islands, archaeologists for nearly 13 years have been digging the remains of a mysterious set of very large buildings surrounded by a massive stone wall erected during the late Neolithic. Located on a small peninsula between two megalithic stone circles, the Ring of Brodgar and the Standing Stones of Stenness, these old buildings are unlike anything known before. What does this place-nowadays known as the "Ness of Brodgar"-reveal about the beliefs of the civilization that populated the British Isles in 3000 BC?
