Anthropology

Hello,

My name's Germà Martín. I'm from a village near Barcelona.

My written English is not as good as it would be needed, but I can't do anything else. I studied English few years.

I'm in love with Orkney Islands since I visited on 2012. I'm interested about nearly everything related with Orkney. I think that since my visit there I've found my place in the world, where I had been born instead where I'm living now. I have passion for those islands.

One of the most interesting thougths I created for myself about Orkney is a theory that buildings in mainland (as Skara Brae) are older than we think now. I recovered this theory when I saw your picture about Doggerland. This "theory" is that this kind of buildings were created when Shetland, Orkney and Mainland were communicated by land and, because that, the bottom of the North Sea (or Atlantic) is full of old building remains.

I don't know if people from Neolithic used to use "ships" (or similar) to move between islands but the similarities I saw on internet about constructions in Shetland and Orkney (and I don't know if anywhere else) have a longer antiquity and makes me think what I said about those isles.

That's my way to understand the history about these lands, from the distance. And another thing that I loved in my visit to Orkney and my previous visit to Scotland's mainland is the respect that people have to the remains of our history.

Could we have a talk about those origins? What do you think? Or do I have to talk with other person about this? If so, can you give me the way of contacting him/her, please?

Thanks for your attention.
