Hi runestones are so plentiful where I live, and a high stone walled viking promontory fort "gåseborg" only 2km away, the line "you don` t know what you`ve got till its gone"(Joni mitchell) rings true. The same feeling has to be said about my homeland Scotland. Get out there and explore and enjoy.. Atb.

You don't seem to believe some of these were probably weapons... They are depicted as such in rock art in Scandinavia.

An offering at the construction of a palisade is not to commemorate all the trees chopped down I assure you. It was for what the palisade itself was for... protection.

'Looking for Scottish history'... difficult, as the victor write/rewrites history, and much has been subsumed by Anglo-British propaganda and perspectives, especially when it comes to retrospective narratives. Check the very important, and consciously ignored Scottish Constitution (extant) that is enshrined in the Treaty of Union (incl the key sovereignty of the people, not parliament - something that resonates today), but wholly cast aside and misinterpreted and misshapen into something that suits the very unconstitutional UK state. Ergo, there was no union of crowns, as the 'crown in Scotland' is the people, not the monarch.

It seems to me that a site such as what evolved at Brodgar may have been the heart of connected communities much farther afield than just the Orkneys. It must surely have been a center known wide and far throughout the British Isles, and Scandinavia in all likeliness. Pre-dating and likely seeding the culture which resulted in Stonehenge, and all pre-dating the pyramids. It will certainly be interesting as various finds are investigated and examined, that there will likely be items made far from the Orkeneys themselves? And too, it may then be as likely, items made at the likes of Brodegar may be found elsewhere far and wide. It fills you with a really unsettling, yet beautiful chill up one's spine each time more is revealed about these sort of sites, and re-writes what we think of these so called ''primitive'' people. To me there is nothing primitive about this highly efficient way of life with minimal technology as we know it. Everything that lay around them was their technology: Stone, grass, bark, wood, plant fibres, clay, sinews, bones, an so on.

DEI is just anti-White racism. Can we go to Nigeria, China, Peru and demand these things? Basing things on people's skin color, genitilia or who they sleep with, has nothing to do with science. Why do you gave to build an inclusive audience? Lastly, these people are marginalized, it is just empty rhetoric. Why do you gave to build an inclusive audience? It is like that anti-White racist berating Parliament, because Scotland a White country, is run by White people. Disgusting! Can we just get back to treating people with respect, allowing them to succeed on their merit, and having them take interest in something, because it interests them?

I think they could be compared to structures even further away. The Tas Tepeler sites in what is now Turkey were also built on bedrock, and in circular shape with a wall within a wall. Also, if the brochs were built by the Picts, who some believe to have been of Scythian descent, they could have brought the idea with them and passed it down. I know this is something that probably seems far-fetched but it's always good to keep an open mind when we don't know who built them or why they were made this way.

I wonder if these comparative experiments (human child--chimp--orangutan) really show us what you think they show us. We would need results of experiments designed by chimps and orangutans to know what? Probably that chimps are better at some things than humans and orangutangs, and orangutangs are better at some things than chimps and humans. I'm not being flippant. These "experiments" showing foregone conclusions are not scientific. And are dangerous in that they encourage the experimenters and audience to preen themselves on imagined human superiority. Particularly the male half of our species. By the way, were the human child(ren), chimp(s), and orangutang(s) studied all male?
