@cathalfp.bsky.socialNewgrange was built around 3200 BC.
At the winter solstice, sunrise still travels through its roof box and down the passage into the chamber.
We know what its builders constructed.
We know it was deliberate.
But we don't know exactly what it meant to them.
That's archaeology.

@cmcevasco.bsky.social📷 Probably my favorite of the shots I took of the massive #Neolithic passage tomb at the burial/ceremonial site of #Newgrange (c. 3200BC) ... from a distance with birds flocking. Visited it a couple of weeks ago as an excursion during the @hns2026.bsky.social conference in Ireland.
