In 1850, a farmer found a secret village. It was later determined to be older than the Great Pyramids of Egypt. Archeologists estimated that 100 people lived in this village named Skara Brae, the “Scottish Pompeii.” The houses were connected to each other by tunnels, and each house could be closed off with a stone door.

SKARA BRAE – ORKNEY ISLAND

In 1850, A Farmer Found A Secret Door In The Sand.
In a small bay in Scotland, a well-kept secret is hidden among the green hills. At first glance, it
might not seem particularly impressive, but step inside and you’ll be amazed at what you see.
Thousands of years ago, it was a bustling society. But time and weather buried it under the sand.
For millennia, no one knew that this place ever existed, but when a terrible storm swept over the
Orkney Islands in 1850, an incredible secret was revealed.
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.
Because within this rolling hillside is a perfectly preserved prehistoric village called Skara Brae
