A huge Neolithic cathedral, unlike anything else which can be seen in Britain, has been found in Orkney.

Archaeologists said that the building would have dwarfed the island?s landmarks from the Stone Age ? the Ring of Brodgar and the Standing Stones of Stenness. Nick Card, who is leading the dig at the Ness of Brodgar, said that the cathedral, which would have served the whole of the north of Scotland, would have been constructed to ?amaze? and ?create a sense of awe? among those who saw it.

Danke für den Hinweis. Klingt ziemlich spannend, wenn auch der Begriff 'Cathedral' falsche Assoziationen weckt.

Das lesenswerte Grabungstagebuch mit Bildern fand ich hier:

Sieht vielversprechend aus, danke für die beiden links!
