I was wondering when you were going to include the fairy folk in your videos. All this talk about giants and almost no mention of a people on the other side of the scale. I guessed the idea of a smaller hominid is too mainstream for you, lol.

[@johnnyblack2131]

The plug stone looks like a head

[@MegalithomaniaUK]

@@legiongrattan7349 It's an interesting subject. We have much research on giants and fairy lore that we feature in an upcoming book by me and Jim Vieira

[@legiongrattan7349]

@@MegalithomaniaUK looking forward to it!! Also do you have any suggestions for where in Canada I might go looking for ancients buildings?

[@kicknantas7578]

check out this really ancient and rarely mentioned site in greece.These buildings are called dragon houses . kzbin.info?search_query=%CE%B4%CF%81%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%83%CF%80%CE%B9%CF%84%CE%B1

The Stane has amazing acoustic properties. Two guys humming inside were heard at the top of the cliffs nearby, Dwarfie hamer.

[@milosen6744]

Dwarfie Stane makes me think of Jean M Auel's "Earth's Children" books, as a place where they performed the "First rites". In the alcove (hidden behind a screen/hide), the spiritual leader would have sat and watched over the girl's safety. That scenario would fit with the fertility artifacts they found in close proximity since it was considered very lucky if the girl became pregnant during her "First Rites".

[@admstwp]

Amazing landscape there

[@rudy103069]

looks like a terraced mine at one time.

[@aquabilly]

The Soay sheep of the St. Kilda island group, a short skip from Hoy to the Hebrides, are genetically closest to Sardinian Mouflon. Just saying. Good microphone set up by the way.

[@Sparky6string]

The acoustic properties of it sound to my ear like a bell. A bell is usually struck but this one is excited simply by the sound waves. The note it returns is consistent. I'd be interested to visit it and see what sort of music I could make there. If the note that the room makes is either the tonic or a harmony to a musical instrument it might sound nice, and there may be fascinating interplay possible between the room and the musician. Thanks for the video.

[@danielvazquez7482]

Would love to know the resonance acoustic frequency inside.

[@adamrawn2063]

All these 'tombs', tunnels, and so forth make me think that they were built by someone greatly fearing a wide-spread and repetitive devastation descending from above over a long period with 'breaks'.

Cataclysm

[@kylewheeler4947]

Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@toddwyndham7009]

Amazing stone work and it is similar to the ones on Sardinia .

[@MegalithomaniaUK]

It was very surprising to see how well carved it is.

[@toddwyndham7009]

MegalithomaniaUK yes and thanks for sharing I had never heard of this place (learn something new everyday).

[@toddwyndham7009]

Rubin Schmidt u got me interested to know more

[@toddwyndham7009]

Rubin Schmidt what is it supposedly??

[@toddwyndham7009]

Rubin Schmidt Thank You SIR ! this really has me thinking 🤔. I can’t wait to see.

[@sedette123]

Nice video and a nice stein hus..( a rock house). thank you

[@lemonvolt]

Weathering on the inside shows constant habitation or usage and due to the lack of paths it must have been used for thousand of years.

[@landahoy8707]

that carved stone looks like a head off some giant statue, easter island style, you can also see the dragmarks in the ground leading from the main stone cave, tomb, ecco chamber

[@gregfox8132]

Went to see this in the 80s, plus the old man of hoy, stunning history. On the foggy path to see the omoh, an older man came out of the fog and said, "Watch your footing near the edge" I could have sworn it was peter maxwell Davies, unsure to this day.

[@Antique803]

May have been a community project to get out of harms way during a CME or meteor shower.

[@Boomer-cf2br]

You have to ask yourself if the Orkney's enjoyed a warmer climate in the past, pre-pole shift.

[@shanon72327]

Why didn't you check/show the (saw?) markings on the main structure? I was looking forward to that... thank you for the great videos!

[@Dang3rMouSe]

Around 4:12 there's a cave entrance screen mid right in the B-roll 🎞. You can just catch the entrance as it passes

[@MegalithomaniaUK]

Yes there is! I'll get the drone up there next time to take a proper look.

[@ElderGod4]

I've saw cought that too with my drone when I went there. But I couldn't get to it. Next summer I'm gonna go for it with equipment.

[@rudy103069]

looks like terraced mining was going on there at one time in the ancient past. Enki?

[@kylerichard7459]

Its about time you did a Hobbit themed episode!!! Cheers from your mate across the pond!!!🍺🍺🍺

[@thorstenfrank8504]

Really amazing story. Thanks a lot is to less👍

[@whiskeytangosierra6]

Sounds like the little people decided the neighborhood was too crowded and moved far away - to the hills outside Marfa, TX where they still show their lights from time to time - and no one has been able to find the source of the lights to this day.

[@IlkkaFriman]

Healing chamber?

[@marypoppins2044]

What is a healing chamber?

[@IlkkaFriman]

Hi. I mean a place where they used sound frequerenses to heal sick people.

[@magnusmitchell6801]

Spiritual hermitage

[@adlozi]

there is a text carved in the stone 'pillow'..

[@donnacarlson5337]

what is written on the pillow

[@donnacarlson5337]

I heard it said that they used to sleep in stone huts and dream with the gods to gain knowledge , my facts may not be correct , but I do remember thinking that perhaps it was radon gas that caused the dreams in the stone huts

[@JT-jg8le]

It is a hollowed out sand stone...

[@MrBrianms]

The stone at the end of the video looks like a little man that s fallen over. The dwarf as a statue. The actual dwarfy stane.

[@davidbate9264]

This was a nuclear war fallout shelter at a time humans were quite advanced this unit dates back to around 15000 BC.

[@anvilbrunner.2013]

To make a Shaman/Druid, a near death experience by means of sensory deprivation & fasting to starvation is required; You might need an apparatus like that. When the christian God sacrificed his weekend. He was closed up in a tomb.

[@MrJohn714]

My guess,.. its a "tomb" stone.

[@rudy103069]

lol everything is a tomb or burial mound,my ass.

[@frosty6960]

Funfact... you pronounce "stane" like norwegians say "stein" .. which means rock.

[@myme5615]

It's a safe, you hide your valuables, food stores, the women and children in if your island was getting invaded or raided. Probably had several uses in fact, could have doubled as a Sheppards shelter

[@magnusmitchell6801]

Hermitage

[@magnusmitchell6801]

Especially to keep possessions, livestock, crops dry

[@toddatkinson5830]

looks like a dog house

[@Shaden0040]

Maybe it was a tomb for a child or children?children of special impoerance for magical or religious reasons.
