Newgrange & Brú na Bóinne
A c. 3200 BCE passage tomb whose roof-box lets the winter-solstice sunrise light the inner chamber.
The alternative view
Alternative researchers cite the solstice alignment and spiral art as evidence of sophisticated astronomical knowledge inherited from older cultures.
The mainstream view
The alignment is accepted (Michael O’Kelly, 1967); archaeologists attribute it to local Neolithic farmers. Ancient-DNA work (Cassidy et al., Nature 2020) revealed an elite lineage buried there.
We present both views respectfully and link to the original work so you can judge for yourself.
