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 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!

@jacqui76 Evening Jacqui 🤗🥰

Oh Wow!!

Jealous!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip, although I’m guessing that it’s kinda peaked today! 😊

Evening Maj - today was a bucket list moment if I am being honest. It was other worldly, I can't find the right words to describe how #Newgrange makes you feel. Yep, the holiday has peaked.

Thank you - I will enjoy the rest of the break. I always enjoy my time in Ireland.

@jacqui76 it is so life changing knowing we were standing in the same spot as people so long ago. I get chills every time I think about it!

Totally agree, you can't get your head around the fact that people were there over 5,000 years, moved those kerbstones and designed that art and it's still here.

I am not ashamed to admit that there was a few tears when we stood inside that chamber in the dark.

I had similar experience of being a tiny dot on the timeline when I went to the caves at Pech Merle in southern France. They have cave paintings there which are 25000 years old.

Well worth a visit.
