DIThis is definitely not because the luck of the Irish☘️🇮🇪
— it’s Neolithic ingenuity!
Newgrange in Ireland is classed as a Neolithic passage tomb dating to around 3200 BCE, but it is so much more than that! Every year at the Winter Solstice, the sun lines up so that it shines directly inside of the tomb for a few minutes 🌅
We’ve always been watching the sky, and this is just another ancient archaeological site that proves it 🔭
