Incomplete without watching <i>some</i> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@TheRandallCarlson">https://www.youtube.com/@TheRandallCarlson</a>
and <i>some</i> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BrightInsight">https://www.youtube.com/@BrightInsight</a> and probably <i>some</i> others, which I'm not up to date to, or even unaware of.<p>Anyways, most interesting thing, and more relevant to me because relative 'near' to me, was something found and excavated on a scottish island near the shoreline.<p>Like a cabin/hut made out of stone, but absolutely <i>Out-of-context</i> because way too old for that level of sophistication of the way of building, and also the rest of artefacts found there. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore, because I can't remember those strange names of the Orkney Islands, or the Hebrides. (Where this was, way up north-east from the tip of Scotland)<p>At the time (about 10 years ago now?) I came across it over some branch of the Royal Society, which made it into a virtual museum, excellent web design btw.
Spent about 4 hours there, and some more the following days. Crosschecked with other events of the time in that area, like Doggerland, Storegga slide, and so on.<p>The virtual museum explained how they dug it out, how they prepared and reconstructed some artefacts, documented every step photographically, even with *.raw pictures if you wanted to, but without slowing the site down. All very snappy. So called 'experimental archeology'.<p>IIRC the strangest thing was that the building seemed like it has been 'thrown down' there, because a few meters away the ground was different, normal. And it lacked a roof, that was gone, and not found, not even parts of it, like it had been sheered away, with some parts of the building, slightly diagonally from its top. And some materials of the artefacts seemed to come from far away, agean sea, near east, I think.<p>Anyways, according to C14 dating, and other measurements I can't remember anymore, it must have been built 200 to 400 years after the glacier there melted away.<p>At the time I thought just <i>wow</i>, why isn't this in the mainstream media at all?
This is sensational! Tried to find it again several times, some years later, to point others to it, but can't find it anymore. GRR!
