Built 5000 years ago on a hillside in the Boyne Valley, long before the pyramids in Egypt, Newgrange is a place of wonder and mystery.
Who were the people who made this underground passage and chamber?
How did they do it without machines?
Was it a burial place or a temple to the gods?
Do the symbols carved into the stone have a special meaning?
Why was Newgrange lost for centuries? >
And above all how did those people so long ago know how to create the ‘lightbox’ and banish darkness on the shortest day of the year – the Winter Solstice?
