correct...the sun is reborn at the winter Solstice when it reaches the Tropic of Capricorn on its ecliptic and starts rising (birth) again towards the equator...death and rebirth of the sun...Newgrange represents the coming together of the two forces of yin/ feminine and yang/masculine to create life in the womb...the emerging 'sun god'...

@Nautilus1972 That's right. I remember a school trip to Newgrange in 1960 when I was 7 years old. It left such an impression on my young mind that I have never forgotten it. Mind you, it was a lot easier for a small boy to walk along the passage to the centre than it would be for me now.

It’s an amazing and magical experience, my 18 year old son in Kilkenny didn’t go with his school, they should definitely reintroduce the school trips to Newgrange and the Boyne Valley, it’s a world heritage site and an absolute treasure of immense historical importance.

This is such a deep comment. THANK YOU for voicing your thought: you are so appreciated.

Thank you

People seem to forget about County Meath, yet two of the most important historical sites in all Ireland Tara and Newgrange reside in County Meath..

oh yeah inbreeding is so wonderful

@@bent540 inbreeding? this is Ireland not America

@@bent540 Stop it . You guys did the " family " thing too.

Amadán!

Well your always welcome Mary Anne ❤ especially with those first names 😎

do you live in a house without windows? you want to see sunrays?? are you foking kiddin?

I saw a video that tell us Newgrange is a Con, that the stones are concrete over steel. That's sad if it's the truth .

Its that is do ...the pyramids older than 5000 yrats it would make new grange much older too. It coukd be. I think it is. There is a corbled rook in the lowesst layers of yheAsyeriam in Egypt. Similar to Newgrange. This to me is spectacular... it could be way way older...

@@knov314 I agree there is ample evidence around that shows there have been many great civilisations that existed long before the Egyptians and the Greeks and so forth. Look at the temple of Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, built twelve thousand years ago by a civilisation that nobody has an knowledge of at all and its taken current day archaeologists year's to stop denying it admit they were wrong and agree with the age of the temple. Why? Because like all evidence found of great civilisations not recorded by current history it's disrupts the "agreed time line" of how the "experts" say history developed. There are new sites being discovered all the time now with the advancement of lidar aerial ground penetrative radar and its has a lot of established historians very worried as they are now feeling like the Catholic Church priests did when more and more scientists were presenting the public with evidence of history and life which contradicted that which the Church preached and enforced. Look at the recent discovery of human hand and foot prints that have been dated to being "200 thousand" years old. Think of the people at that time and the villages towns or cities they could have built, only to have all knowledge of them wiped from existence by natural disasters or disease or war. And the only remnants that remain today are enormous monolithic stone's that are so heavy that they remain in place even today or built upon by succeeding generations of humans. There are even rumoured to be ancient archaeological remains found in Antarctica dating from when the continent was ice free and like you mentioned the American military who discovered it are said to have been removing anything of grand importance for US governments own agenda. On the mention of the Atlantean civilisation you might want to look at the UKposts channel Bright Insight as he has presented evidence to show what I and many others believe to be the actual location of the lost city and it's no longer anywhere near water which will surprise you and is even more believable and amazing. The fact that a CIA document on the location has only just been declassified also shows that there is something special about the location.

Hi. Where is the structure that you mentioned is in the southern state in America? What does it look like? Where is it located? How can I find out more about it?

In Ireland if we want a particular book we ask our local library to buy it. We can then borrow it. Can you not do that in the states?

They said it was.

Much love from 71 year old grandma from Prineville Oregon USA

Why did you know? I think not

Hehe I guess

archeologist are some of the worst people!

Whishta, well Lord above Colin? Did they ever have a sunny day to even ponder light entering?

experts think that ancient people built burial grounds just like modern people. people are and were people. the building probably had a practical purpose for the living.

Venus rises through it every eighth year

Yes, pompous British scholars always believe they know everything.( guess again, they don't as their massive egos trip them up, we know otherwise) No ancient Irish culture could construct such a complex and beautiful monument. Only the neolithic Britains could construct something so awe inspiring. Don't fret & worry he'll soon be dead but Newgrange will remain reading the night sky for eons too come. We belong to the earth & the sky & the oceans not mankind's plastic, glass and steel hideous soulless constructions. Never forget something wonderful is going to happen.

Utter bull shite🤣🤣🤣

Your fantasies are not history, child.

They have been taken and DNA analysis has been performed on them and the results were that the people buried therein were all very closely related suggesting a high degree of consanguinity.

Ooohhhh yeah 🥰🤗

Not forgetting the Bean Sí (fairy woman), an Leath Chorpáin (half/small body ie Leprechaun - shoemaker to the Fairies/Síoga,) Taibhse (ghost), Fóidín Mairiúl (deadly sod/spot), Aisling (visionary spirit), srl/etc....

No. Unicorns come from Scotland. Or maybe they come from Scotland and go to Ireland?? They must get a ferry across. Ferry..... Boat. Not fairie..... Sprite.

Yes! Tombs they are tombs you ass. I suppose you think it was aliens 👽 cosmic man!

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it

What does that mean? "before the Irish arrived"? Where else would the Irish be but in Ireland!

@@fromireland8663 Apparently the Celts we know as the Irish arrived in what we know as Ireland from mainland Europe around 600 B C.

@@raysargent4055 so what? Whoever was there before 600 bc were Irish.

@@fromireland8663 what even if they weren't.

Bombs during the Neolithic period?

@@rachelhunt3781 Ancient Sumerian texts refer to massive bombs which sound like nuclear weapons to me. In fact, one theory states that a nuclear weapon brought about the end of the Sumerian Empire. Pyramids certainly were not tombs. No bodies, no heiroglyphics- Nada.
