Must-Visit Attractions in Ireland🏰

📜🌍Newgrange is a renowned prehistoric site in Ireland, located in the Boyne Valley, north of Dublin. It is a megalithic tomb dating back to around 3200 BC, making it older than the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge in the UK. Key Features: 🌟Architectural Structure: Constructed from stone and earth, it has a dome shape, standing about 12 meters high and with a diameter of approximately 85 meters. Inside, there is a long, narrow passage about 19 meters long that leads to a main chamber. Winter Solstice Phenomenon: Every winter solstice (around December 21st), sunlight enters the chamber through a small opening above the entrance, illuminating the interior. This indicates that the builders had advanced astronomical knowledge. 🌅Cultural Significance: Believed to have been used for religious ceremonies or as a burial place for high-ranking individuals, it may also have been a site for sun worship. It reflects the ingenuity and respect for nature of the Neolithic people. 🗿World Heritage: Newgrange is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Brú na Bóinne in the Boyne Valley and is one of Ireland’s most famous archaeological attractions. It is regarded as one of the most significant cultural and engineering achievements of ancient Europe. But, highlight: It’s almost impossible to get in during the winter solstice due to a global queue of tens of thousands!! So, it’s best to visit at other times!! #IrishAttractions
