#Amerika is almost 250 years old .. would most americans understand that some places have been around for longer ... like #KnapOfHowar .. that was inhabited 3800BC .. which if my maths is correct .. about 5000 years before America???

Annual visit to #Papay #PapaWestray last week. Just a day trip from #Pierowall #Westray. Glorious as ever
Loved the #archive.

Being an Archaeology geek, no trip to Papay was going to be complete without a visit to Knap of Howar! 3200-3500 B.C. #oldesthouseinnortherneurope #knapofhowar #neolithic #neolithicfarmers #quern #hearth #papay… www.instagram.com/p/ByYVyzDAXjF/
