Archaeologists on Orkney are investigating what is thought to be a 5,000-year-old tomb complex.

A local man stumbled on the site while using a mechanical digger for landscaping.

It appears to contain a central passageway and multiple chambers excavated from rock.

There is a large neolithic burial complex nearby called The Tomb of the Eagles where over 300 bodies were found.

"Potentially these skeletons could tell us so much about Neolithic people," said Orkney Islands Council archaeologist Julie Gibson.

"Not only in relation to their deaths, but their lives."

People are always imagining that any UFOs are going to come out of melting ice, or glacial till.

I think it's more likely such craft are stuck in subduction zones having come here over 2.5 billion years back.

The real risk is that they slag out and create "hot spots" that create "plumes".

May well be why we have so few super volcanoes if each one of them is actually the consequence of crashed UFOs.

“That should be fairly easy to determine. They should still be on the voter rolls somewhere. The question is - WHERE?”

With names old enough to be off any current database, I’d guess they’d be “registered” in Chicago, NY city (each burrow), Detroit and San Fran.

I don’t mean spread out among those areas, I mean listed all together in each.

DNA studies were done on bog bodies or body found in Britain and compared with local population. It was discovered that decendents of the 2,000 year old bog people were still living in the area.
