We are currently on holiday in #Cavan at the moment but I wanted to share these photos with you all.

We went on a guided tour of #Newgrange, Co.Meath* today. We were allowed into see the inner chamber.

We stood inside a Neolithic Chamber that was built 5,200 years ago, which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza.

There are no words to explain how that feels - we are merely a dot on the timeline of this earth!

*for Mark 😉

One of the oldest known “windows”

Light opening (center of image) above the entrance to the passage at Newgrange.
For a few days around the winter solstice, a ray of light shines through this opening into the chamber at the end of the passage at sunrise.

Another trip down memory lane for Throwback Thursday. My visit to the 5,200 year old Newgrange passage tomb was 16 years ago today. Weeks too late to see the sunlight actually stream through the entrance but it was still a brilliantly sunny last day in Ireland.

#OfficeofPubliWorks live streamed dawn at #NewGrange amazing to think how old this structure is and how the design still works so many years later. Not sure I can envisage a modern structure lasting so long in this way
