Nope, it's got to be a temple. The archeologists said so. Alrighty then. A temple it is. Repeal the 17th Amendment and the Reapportionment Act of 1929!

It was likely used for various different functions. Maybe call it a "major ritual site" or something like that. What's really interesting is that here is a place in the far North of Europe which is way ahead of the rest of the continent in terms of architecture, farming, culture etc. In the documentary, they kept using the word "unique" for the things they were finding. They're sober-minded archaeologists but clearly very excited about this. There's much more to find and not just on the land. A recent survey of the coast has revealed a mystery structure underwater near the Ring of Brodgar.

Humanity, as a whole, is self-interested, shallow, ignorant, violent and immoral; small wonder, therefore, that our leaders (secret or otherwise) reflect that. You want better leaders, become better people. I forgive myself, I Love myself, I'm sorry, Please forgive me, I forgive you, I love you, Thank you. God Bless You; I Bless You; Bless Yourself(~). Love is the answer ~ Peace be with You. |
