歌词

[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.
