AGGRESSIVE STORM REVEALS UNDISCOVERED STONE AGE DWELLING.
The people of Orkney are
used to bad weather, but last night’s storm was no ordinary storm. It revealed a secret kept hidden for thousands of years; a site previously inhabited by prehistoric people.
Local landowner, William Watt, was out walking when he came upon this extraordinary sight.
‘I’ve been walking these lands for many a year, so the stone clumps that I could see in the distance stood out as strange’, explained Watt, 44.
William Watt could not believe his eyes as the magnitude of what he had discovered was slowly revealed.
Experts have not yet been called the scene, because the landowner would prefer to
explore the artefacts himself. William Watt thought that the buildings appeared to be Neolithic (late Stone Age, around 3000 BC), which makes them older than the ancient pyramids, Stonehenge and the Great Wall of China.
Who knows what stories will be told as this man digs for information at the site. What we know for sure is that the people of these islands are soon to discover more about this hidden treausure.
