[00:15.20] There are the remains of Stone Age life dotted all over Britain and Ireland.
[00:21.58] But nowhere as abundantly as Orkney,
[00:24.00] with its mounds,
[00:24.94] graves and above all its great circles of standing stones like here at Brodgar,
[00:30.74] vast, imposing and utterly unknowable.
[00:38.72] But Orkney boasts another Neolithic site,
[00:40.63] that is, in its way,
[00:41.88] even more impressive than Brodgar,
[00:44.39] the last thing you would expect from the Stone Age,
[00:47.41] a shockingly familiar glimpse of ancient domestic life.
[00:52.84] Perched on the western coast of Orkney's main island,
[00:55.37] a village called Skara Brae.
[01:07.03] Here, beneath an area no bigger than the 18th grade of a golf course
[01:11.26] lies Europe's most complete Neolithic community,
[01:15.29] miraculously preserved for 5,000 years
[01:18.06] under a blanket of sand and grass
[01:20.66] until uncovered in 1850 by a ferocious sea storm.
[01:36.66] This is a recognisable village,
[01:39.53] neatly fitted into its landscape between the pasture and sea,
[01:43.57] intimate, domestic and self-sufficient.
[01:46.59] And although they were technically still in the Stone Age in the Neolithic period,
[01:50.72] these dwellings are not huts,
[01:52.62] they're true houses,
[01:53.91] built from the sandstone slabs that lie all around the island
[01:57.64] which gave stout protection to the villagers here at Skara Brae,
[02:01.91] from their biting Orcadian winds.
[00:15.20] 石器时代的遗迹遍布于不列颠与爱尔兰,
[00:21.58] 尤以奥克尼群岛为最。
[00:24.00] 大量鼓起的坟堆,
[00:24.94] 以及像布罗德盖石圈一样耸立着的巨石阵,
[00:30.74] 雄伟壮观,并散发着不可知的神秘气息。
[00:38.72] 而岛上有一处新石器时代的遗址,
[00:40.63]
[00:41.88] 甚至比布罗德盖更令人惊叹,
[00:44.39] 你永远想象不到, 遥远的石器时代
[00:47.41] 远古的家庭生活,竟在这里揭开了神秘面纱。
[00:52.84] 苏格兰斯堪的纳维亚,这处遗址就在位于奥克尼主岛西岸,
[00:55.37] 一个叫做斯卡拉布雷的村庄。
[01:07.03] 在这不足一个十八洞高尔夫球场大的地下,
[01:11.26] 静静沉睡着欧洲最完整的新石器时代部落。
[01:15.29] 在草与沙之下,
[01:18.06] 奇迹般地保留着五千年前的风貌。
[01:20.66] 直到1850年的一次巨大海上风暴,揭开了她的真实面目。
[01:36.66] 村落的面貌清晰可见,
[01:39.53] 完美地镶嵌在牧场与海洋之间,
[01:43.57] 联系紧密,以家庭为单位,自给自足。
[01:46.59] 虽然这一时期仍被划分在新石器时代,
[01:50.72] 这些寓所却已不再是临时的窝棚,
[01:52.62] 而是真正的房屋,
[01:53.91] 由遍布岛上的砂石板材筑造,
[01:57.64] 坚实地保护着斯卡拉布雷的村民们,
[02:01.91] 免受奥克尼凶猛海风的侵袭。
