EDITORS COMMENTS
New Grange: A Timeless Testament to Ancient Wisdom and Craftsmanship Nestled in the lush, green landscape of County Meath in the Republic of Ireland, New Grange stands as a testament to the ingenuity and spirituality of our ancient ancestors. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a low, enchanting view of the iconic Stone Circle at New Grange. The circular arrangement of these monumental stones, each standing approximately 12 feet high, has long been a source of fascination and mystery. New Grange, along with its more famous counterpart, the larger and better-known site of Stonehenge in England, is considered one of the most significant megalithic structures in Europe. This intricate and harmonious arrangement of stones was constructed around 3200 BC, making it older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. The site is believed to have been used as a burial ground and a religious sanctuary, with the stones aligned to mark the winter solstice, allowing sunlight to penetrate the inner chamber and illuminate the tomb. As you gaze upon this ancient monument, it's impossible not to be struck by the sense of awe and reverence that must have surrounded its creation. The stones, weathered by time, stand proudly, their silent whispers echoing through the ages, inviting us to ponder the wisdom and craftsmanship of our ancestors and the deep connection they had with the natural world.
