Add a review about Newgrange
Newgrange - one of the most ancient cult buildings on the planet, built 3000 years BC. e. from earth, clay, stone and wood. This burial site for several hundred years exceeds the Egyptian pyramids, and it was discovered only at the end of the 17th century. His destination is still a mystery - not only the tomb, or the ancient observatory, or the place of departure of the unknown cult.
Newgrange is a huge mound of earth and stones that was once all covered with white quartz pebbles and surrounded by 97 vertical stone blocks. There is also the mound Naut, which was erected over 3 thousand years BC, and the mound Daut. This is a real treasure trove of rock paintings and artifacts, a whole museum of European megalithic art.
On the territory of the complex you can see the stones with ancient Celtic carvings, and on the winter solstice the sun's rays illuminate the only interior chamber of the building once a year for 20 minutes.
