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
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.
Explain why the following inference is true or false.
The builders of Maes Howe considered the winter sun important."
