We not only excavated a tomb that was filled with at least 11 people, it also contained the remains of a dog 🐕 buried 6000 years ago! It is currently the earliest dog remains found in Arabia! Link👇 We Discovered 11 People Buried Together…6,000 Years Ago youtu.be/McxR_B7eOYQ

1/5 HELLO. Some of you might be new here. Where've you been all this time? We're Caithness Broch Project, and we love brochs! What are brochs, though? They're 40ft, multi-floored Iron Age towers, thought to be houses, found only in #Scotland. AND WE WANT TO BUILD ONE!

Hi everyone, Grand Theft Auto VI will now release on Thursday, November 19, 2026. We are sorry for adding additional time to what we realize has been a long wait, but these extra months will allow us to finish the game with the level of polish you have come to expect and deserve.
