Early Morning at Ring of Brogar, Orkney, Scotland.UK The ring is 5,000 years old. This is older than Stonehenge and the great pyramids of Egypt, though still younger than the nearby Stones of Stenness. It`s one of the four monuments that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site called `The Heart of Neolithic Orkney`. One theory is that the Ring of Brodgar represented a symbolic area for the dead, while the Standing Stones of Stenness, with its central hearth, represented life. The procession from Stenness to Brodgar, therefore, could be seen as a symbolic journey from life to death. He Ring of Brodgar has never been excavated, so we don`t know its age for sure. In the absence of scientific dates, our best guess is that the main ring was constructed between 2600 and 2400 BC. The surrounding burial mounds and stone setting date from between 2500 and 1500 BC.The Ring of Brodgar or Brogar, or Ring o` Brodgar is a Neolithic henge and stone circle in Orkney, Scotland. ... It is generally thought to have been erected between 2500 BC and 2000 BC, and was, therefore, the last of the great Neolithic monuments built on the Ness.
