 Skara Brae is a stone-built Neolithic settlement, located on the Bay of Skaill on the west coast of Mainland, the largest island in the Orkney archipelago of Scotland. Europe's most complete Neolithic village, Skara Brae gained UNESCO World Heritage Site status as one of four sites making up "The Heart of Neolithic Orkney."
Older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids, it has been called the "Scottish Pompeii" because of its excellent preservation. [Wikipedia]

If anyone wants to know more about Skara Brae, visit //www.orkneyjar.com/history/skarabrae/. It's quite interesting.

Wow! Older than the pyramids? Presumably this is reconstructed? They can't have FOUND it in this stage of good repair, can they?
