Nestled in the mossy, green hills on the Orkney Islands off
Scotland is a secret older than the great pyramids of Egypt.

At first, it might not look like much, but the fact is, this is a
unique and magical place.

The winter of 1850 hit Orkney hard. A severe storm caused
great devastation and resulted in more than 200 deaths. But
it also revealed something long forgotten. When the storm
abated, villagers discovered a settlement under the sand.

The settlement consists of eight stone houses and was inhabited
between roughly 3180 and 2500 B.C., making Skara Brae one of
the oldest agriculture villages in the UK.
