The discovery of an ancient site in the North Sea on the British island of Orkney has provided archaeologists with a remarkable “feat of engineering” that predates the renowned pyramids of Egypt by nearly a thousand years.

This Neolithic site not only showcases advanced architectural techniques for its time but also offers insights into the people who constructed it due to the presence of fourteen skeletons.

Dr. Hugo Anderson-Whymark, a senior curator of prehistoric (Neolithic) artifacts at the National Museums Scotland and one of the researchers involved in the discovery, expressed his amazement at the engineering accomplishments of this ancient site.

The tomb, which once stood as a massive structure within the landscape, featured highly impressive stonework inside.
