If anyone is interested in stone Age wonders, its worthwhile to look at the biggest - and some say the most significant - archaeological dig in Europe: the Ness of Brodgar, on Orkney. Geophysicists have uncovered what appears to be a gigantic temple complex, predating Stonehenge by at least 500 years. The BBC have put out a nice documentary about it fairly recently. In consequence, tourists in greater thousands have already begun to pour into the islands from all over the world. Oddly enough, this poem (written in 2009) seems to have had prescience! !
