Good day, eager beaver! Guess what? Some really cool archaeologists discovered something super duper ancient and interesting at a place where they want to shoot rockets into space!

So, way, way, way, long ago, like 4,000 years ago, there was a special place called the Shetland Islands in Scotland. And guess what? They found a really old cemetery there!

A cemetery is a place where people were buried when they passed away. But you know what’s funny? Even though it’s super old, you couldn’t see anything above the ground, like it was playing hide-and-seek!

This ancient cemetery is full of surprises! It has a bunch of bones from people who were cremated, which means their bodies were turned into ashes. And it’s surrounded by big buried rocks that might have formed a big circle. That’s like a secret club for the ancient people!

Ancient Rocketry!

• The archaeologists believe that people made the cemetery during the time of the Bronze Age. Back when people had cool things like bronze and life was kinda tough. The archaeologists are not sure if the people buried there were locals or if they came from faraway lands like Scotland or Norway.
• Oh, and they found something shiny and special too! It’s a patch of white rocks called white quartz. People thought it was magical a looooong time ago. It’s like finding a treasure!
• The space where this ancient cemetery was found is going to be a super cool rocket launch site! They’re planning to shoot rockets up into the sky like spaceships! But don’t worry, they want to keep this special place safe, so they might not build over it. They’ll make sure it’s protected, just like a superhero guarding a treasure!
• You know what else is exciting? People have been living on these islands for way longer, like 6,000 years! That’s even before the cemetery was built! There are so many interesting places on these islands, but this is the first time they found a cemetery from the Bronze Age.
• The rocket company is being really nice. They had these awesome archaeologists on the site all the time, making sure no cool things got lost. Old stuff from World War II was found by them! This was like a really, really long time ago when soldiers were playing with their toys.
• Now, they are getting ready to launch the first rocket in October! How amazing is that? Another rocket place is being built in another part of Scotland too! But they haven’t told us when they will start shooting rockets yet.
• So, there you have it! An exciting story about a super old cemetery, rockets, and hidden treasures. It’s like a mix of ancient times and space adventures!
