RARE Neolithic Tomb Discovered In ORKNEY
Neolithic tombs with well-preserved human skeletons are extremely rare. However, in recent months, archaeologists discovered a passage grave in Orkney, Scotland with eight relatively intact individuals. In this video I talk about this find, as well as, the discoveries of an ancient Egyptian cemetery, an Aztec snake sculpture, a Bronze Age royal hall in Germany and a Bronze Age jewellery set in Switzerland. I also discuss a project to search for lost prehistoric settlements under the North and Baltic Seas.
