My theory that Neolithic people walked from Caithness to Orkney to build the Stones of Stenness, Maeshowe, and the Ring of Brodgar, has been treated by professionals and amateurs as either unlikely or bizarre.

@Tea_Break Your theory remind me about a recent documentary I watched (sorry I forget the title) about the Big Coral Reef in Australia and the end of the Ice Age. Apparently new geological data proved aboriginal legends, mentioning some small islands -far away from the coast- as mountains, part of their ancestral lands, abandoned when the 'sea waters rose'. Not my field, but apparently there's still things we don't know about the Ice Age end.

@rcosta yes, a lot we don't know about the ice ages. A lot of theories that just don't make sense, and it's fun to untangle reality from the fantasy pictures that we carry in our heads. Some of the old stories have a fascinating grain of truth, like the parting of the red sea, for instance.
