Newgrange Winter Solstice 

When you have been on life’s journey from the dark to the light and you see amazing things like this you know your on the right journey

Amazing how the light penetrates through the darkness and makes all the change, suddenly you feel there is life and you even feel the warmth....truly amazing!!

A moment of joy. Thank you.

Lindos e suaves, o vídeo, as imagens, a música...gratidão.

Amazing

The stone monument looks like a fertilized egg to me in pictures from above/inside.

SOLSTICE Through the long dark chambers in the hollow hills, Pagan voices, echoing in the corbelled spaces, Vanished in the twilight of unremembered souls, Forgotten rituals left their distant traces. In clever corridors, now closed to winter chill, Bats roost where ancient men once mourned, Till the Sun would shine its benediction still On the darkest day when, waiting for the dawn, The solstice priests and pilgrims in the night Would gather in the mound's sacred demesne, At the deep recess that had not seen the light, To witness that dark places can be blessed On this most hallowed day of all renewal; In the majesty of the fulcrum of the year, At the nadir of heaven's sacred jewel The patient ghosts of the newly dead drew near And, through the sure compelling power of the rite, In sorrow, cherished loved ones bound up tight, In the alchemy of the dark and light, The souls of the departed would take flight. "Solstice" by Etienne Muller

It's on this week

if newgrange is 3200bc old then its as old as the Royal Cemetry of Sumerian UR, predates the oldest Egyptian Pyramid Saqqara and First Assyrian Capital Assur ,I dont understand why the surrounding isnt fenced, where is the security, this shud be a main attraction for tourists around the world with large displays explaining its origin,

I dont get it? 🤔
