Excavation: Neolithic man built a vast temple complex at the Ness of Brodgar, with some parts constructed more than 5,000 years ago, even before the Ancient Egyptians had started building the pyramids.

Where did these people come from? If they’re there was the surrounding countries i.e Denmark, Norway, Sweden also inhabited then?

It’s not exactly the Mona Lisa... :-)

It is cool, though.

I am still convinced that the petroglyphs in Southwestern US were the result of Cave Mom saying to her kids, “Go play in the rocks with the other kids!”

You should see what the Egyptians were doing 5000 years ago, or Gobekli Tepe in Turkey long before that. I can’t get too excited about a stone with some straight lines incised on it.

So no one has claimed it as a Neolithic mosque yet?

Clearly an oversight. Someone acted stupidly.

In the first photo, that big “N” at the top stands for “NEOLITHIC”.

People have lived on the Orkneys so long that there is a DNA marker that is peculiar to the Orkneys.

Long before these people, cave men were doing beautiful paintings on the walls of caves and they call this a beautiful example of neolithic art, I don’t want to see ugly examples then.
