Maes-how Tomb: A Window into the Ancient Past of Orkney, Scotland This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic Maes-how tomb, situated on the Orkney Mainland in Scotland. Dating back to approximately 3000 BC, this ancient structure stands proudly amidst the rugged landscape, surrounded by the iconic Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar. Maes-how is a Neolithic tomb, also known as a chambered cairn or barrow. The tomb's entrance is hidden beneath a mound of earth and stones, leading to a narrow tunnel that opens up into a chamber filled with remnants of the past. The tomb's construction predates the famous Stonehenge in England by over a thousand years, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural development of the Neolithic period in Scotland. The Orkney Mainland, with its unique archaeological sites, has long been a source of fascination for historians, archaeologists, and visitors alike. The area is believed to have been inhabited as early as 8500 BC, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited regions in Europe. The Maes-how tomb is a poignant reminder of the region's ancient past and the mysterious people who once called it home. The tomb's proximity to the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar, two other significant Neolithic sites, suggests that this area held great significance to the people of the time. Despite the passage of time and the ravages of the elements, the Maes-how tomb remains a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. The intricate design and careful construction of the tomb speak to the advanced knowledge and skills of the Neolithic people, who built it over 5,000 years ago. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the people of Orkney lived in harmony with the land and the natural world around them.
