A dying ancient culture, strange visitors from a far away land and a changing climate that helped bring them together.
Whether you believe Dr. Patricia Sutherland’s research or not, you have to acknowledge one thing – she tells an incredible story!
It’s a tale of how two dynamic, but ultimately doomed, cultures co-existed together – the Greenland Norse and the Dorset of the Canadian Arctic.
Dr. Sutherland is a curator at the Canadian Museum of Civilization in Ottawa Canada. She has been conducting Arctic archaeology research for more than 30 years.
It’s lonely out here in Tibet. The sun is shining down over a mountain and for miles around there is not a soul in sight. The sky is clear and at my feet I can see six layers of brown stones, about the size of baseballs, piled up by an unknown people.
These stone piles dot the landscape – only a few feet away I can see a pile of them shaped into what looks like a house with two or three rooms.
No, I’m not in Tibet. I’m also not reading an archaeological report, or even a looking at a virtual reconstruction. I’m immersed in a photographic panorama of an actual site in Tibet. The objects are real and were shot by a photographer – Tito Dupret – who was actually there.
