Irish history certainly did not begin when the island came into the view of Mediterranean powers...

A caption of a photo of one of the "radial line motifs" carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns" published in TIME-LIFE book 'The Monument Builders' says, "Either the sun or an eye may be signified in this carving in a curbstone of a retaining wall that was built to protect the base of a burial mound at Dowth, County Meath, Ireland.
A line drawing of Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns".
A map of the path of totality of a Neolithic era total solar eclipse above Ireland.
An astronomical drawing of the 1851 total solar eclipse on the left compares very well with a photo of one of the "radial line motifs" carved into Dowth's "Stone of the Seven Suns" published in TIME-LIFE book 'The Monument Builders' which is captioned, "Either the sun or an eye may be signified in this carving in a curbstone of a retaining wall that was built to protect the base of a burial mound at Dowth, County Meath, Ireland. Total solar eclipses look very much like the pupil and iris of a disembodied "eye in the sky", so much so that even modern well-educated people, including professional astronomers, have been moved to at least metaphorically describe total solar eclipses as "the eye of God".
Regardless of whether or not the #Neolithic "passage tomb" #Newgrange interred a #prehistoric Irish king, it's passage aligned with the #WinterSolstice sunrise suggests it's concerned with the "death" & "rebirth" of the Sun. Nearby #Dowth displays 7 #TotalSolarEclipses on #TheStoneOfTheSevenSuns.

🪨 Newgrange is a Neolithic monument located in the region of Bru na Boinne, County Meath, Ireland.
It is considered to be one of the most famous megalithic complexes in Europe. Newgrange was constructed c. 3200 BCE.

Color landscape photograph showing the neolithic Newgrange monument entrance to the passage tomb with green grass, blue skies and brilliant winter sunlight bathing the stones at the front of the cairn.
Another trip down memory lane for #ThrowBackThursday. My visit to the 5,200 year old #Newgrange #PassageTomb was 16 years ago today. Weeks late to see the sun align with the entrance but it was still a sunny day in #Ireland.

🌀A beautiful day out at Newgrange 🌀
Following a memorable holiday in #Bettystown last year, adults from our Moyle Road day service enjoyed a visit to Newgrange, Co. Meath, to learn all about its history. What a fantastic trip 🎉

Happy Solstice to all. I was at Newgrange passage tomb this morning for sunrise. Unfortunately a cloud bank was in the way but it was still great and good vibes. Hundreds of people there, all to greet the sunrise and mark the end of long nights & short days.
