Oh, excellent...Red Square. I was there in early June of 2004. We couldn't get out on to Red Square itself, as it was blocked off to set up for the Paul McCartney concert.

I may have been mistaken, but I thought I could discern a steady hum coming from the region of Lenin's Tomb....

Jarlshof, Sumburg, Shetland, UK

Jarlshof is layers. From early neolithic to 16th century manor house, now all in ruins. Sullied by the 'antiquitarians' (said with a curled lip and snide tone by my guides on both Shetland and Orkney) who 'discovered' (and likely looted) it, it has forced later academics to 'approximate' dating on the layers.
