1. Title: An Exquisite Antiquity: The Tumulus of New Grange at Brugh Na Boinne, County Meath, Ireland 2.. The Tumulus of New Grange, a Neolithic passage tomb, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery of Brugh Na Boinne in County Meath, Ireland. Constructed around 3200 BC, this ancient monument is a testament to the architectural and engineering prowess of the people who inhabited this land thousands of years ago. The exterior view of the tumulus reveals its impressive size and the intricate design of its kerbstones. The kerbstones, each adorned with intricate carvings, form a circular pattern around the mound, creating a striking visual contrast against the rolling hills and verdant landscape. The Tumulus of New Grange is one of the most famous and well-preserved megalithic structures in Europe. It is renowned for its unique architectural features, including its corbelled roof and the passageway that leads to the burial chamber. The tomb's alignment with the winter solstice sun allows for a breathtaking display of sunlight penetrating the chamber, illuminating the interior and casting a magical glow on the intricately carved walls. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the people of Ireland built monumental structures that continue to inspire awe and wonder. The Tumulus of New Grange remains an enduring symbol of Ireland's rich history and cultural heritage. Brugh Na Boinne, meaning "the mound of the boans," is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Tumulus of New Grange is just one of its many treasures. A visit to this ancient site is a must for anyone seeking to explore the mysteries of the past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of our ancestors' creations.
