I have a guitar pedal that captures the reverb of spaces. You record a sharp sound in the space, like a hand clap or a popped balloon, USB the wave file into the pedal and like magic, the pedal creates the reverberations associated with the space. This cairn in Orkney is one of the IR captures included in the pedal. The pedal is pre-loaded with many caves, churches, rooms and vintage reverb devices, it's called the Poly Verbs. That ancient cairn has some interesting acoustic properties that sound really good with a flute or guitar. Pretty neat, eh? - I thought so. - the picture of the cairn was included in the directions pamphlet, I recognized it in this video thumbnail and had to watch the video to see the actual space!

0:20 Runes carved in to the wall. I can't translate it as the picture is too blurry, and thusly are uncertain what all the runes are. But I think it says from what i can see "Þ? ehahÞina" I'm unsure about a few of the runes due to the picture being blurry and if some of the marks are natural marks in the stone of if it's carved. IF i'm correct about atleast the 4 last runes (Þina) then that atleast mean "your or your's". The runes used was used up untill the year 1000, so it was most likely carved during the scandinavian conquest of England (Medowland).

This is a pyramid and they were used as the pyramids in Egypt and other places, they are frequency modulators, for balancing Earth. When there have been many cataclysmic events there were knowledge how to balance out this planet. The chambers are more for balancing the four elements. They still work, they are still active, many are not dug out, many are still under Earths surface but they still do what they were built for to some degree, especially when it comes to balancing out Earth. They are built on certain leylines, it is like acupuncture spots on and for our planet. Those that built all of the Pyramids had greater knowledge from us. Some of those pyramids built were to the detriment of the planet, those at sea floor of Bermuda, they were placed incorrectly and caused a lot of damage. It is all the same, if you build something without taking into account the impact on the environment, then you get issues. Same goes for today, if we build buildings incorrectly they will not last. The day we awaken in the best possible way, we will know what the full scope of those hillsides/pyramids were for, not before. x

Just an aside. It’s likely a liminal point of transition symbolically between the original physical mothers womb of the person to be interred within who likely belonged to the prestigious lineage to which the tumuli belonged. In death one follows the deceased family member through the low ‘birth-canal’ back into the dark primordial tomb/ womb in the inner chambers. The high people accompany the dead into the tomb/womb of their ancestors and they return to the world of the living of light through that same ‘birth canal’ emerging into the world of life and back to the natural cycle. They are symbolically then reborn/cleansed/sanctified, particularly if high status chiefly war chiefs or priests or priestesses. Descent and return of only certain people to the underworld across all traditional cultures is always the sign of the exceptional, the valorous, the highborn etc…the tumuli lies redolent like a pregnant woman’s ventre on the female body of the land/landscape. They were likely associated therefore with not just death ceremonies but fertility rites, first fruits ceremonies/offerings etc..

When I went a few years ago you just turned up and crawled in with a skateboard on a rope, with no fees or anyone else in sight, you had it all to yourself. It got it's name from the remains of dozens of eagles found inside, along with thousands of human bones. Unfortunately since covid it's been closed to visitors because it's owned by a private landowner who's struggled with the upkeep.
