Well, as it turns out, there really IS a Skara Brae,
but it's not in Germany - it's on the Northern Coast
of Scotland!!!  Nat'l Geographic did an article on Scotland
a few years back, and had pictures of Skara Brae, which
is an abandoned, ruined fishing village which apparently
dates back about 2000 years... there are Norse runes on
the walls which are guessed to be from Viking invaders some
several hundred years after the village was abandoned...
If you're interested in further info, I could probably look
up the article; I know I saved it, but I'm not sure quite where...
