Inside the Sacred Tomb of Newgrange



What makes this interesting is the location and the time.  3200 BC or almost a thousand years before the Great pyramid.  this locality was a certain anchor point for the Bimini to Lewis sea route that had likely already started when this was built.

This is a cultural center and any bones were likely later internments.  sighting the soltice in was common and part of later sites like stonehenge.  Understand that the fleet came here, sailed down to garand Mann in Wales and onto Bristol area for tin and Stonehenge.

when we seriously look, we will find multiple sites on the coast from Georgia around to the mississipi and Lake Superior. The annual trade fleet likely packed several thousand men quite able to build things like this wherever they wanted to land and have a base.  After all they needed to get restocked after making the trip..

Inside the Sacred Tomb of Newgrange: A Fascinating Look at Prehistoric Ireland (Video)



In County Meath, Ireland, stands one of the most mysterious ancient structures in the world - Newgrange. This massive stone tomb, built around 3200 BC, predates famous monuments like Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid . It's almost the size of a football field and contains an estimated 200,000 tons of stone. What's most intriguing about Newgrange is its unique design, including a tri-spiral symbol and a passage leading into the interior.






However, the most curious aspect of its design is the glimmering golden beam of sunlight that enters the tomb only one day a year - on the day of winter solstice . This has led archaeologists to theorize that Newgrange was not only a tomb but also a place where the living communicated with the dead and served as a gateway into the afterlife.
