Maes Howe: A Twofold Treasure
Maes Howe, a chambered tomb located in Scotland's Orkney Islands, is older than the pyramids. Built from enormous stones, the
tomb has one long, narrow entrance with a ceiling so low that visitors must hunch over as they pass through it. The entrance faces
toward the winter sun's location at sunset around the shortest day of the year. Ancient rituals were performed there. Long after it
was abandoned by its builders, Vikings broke into Maes Howe and left runes carved in its walls. The collection of runes-Viking
graffiti-shares sentiments familiar in any time: "Ingigerth is the most beautiful of women"; "Haermund Hardaxe carved these
runes." What looks from the outside to be simply a round, grassy hill on a small, wind-swept island represents an amazing
historical find for two different eras.
What can you infer about how the builders of Maes Howe regarded the winter sun? Explain how you inferred this?
