Step into a 5,000-year-old Neolithic wonderland that predates Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids, featuring passage tombs with intricate spiral carvings and a winter solstice light phenomenon at Newgrange. The massive Newgrange monument's roof box allows sunlight to penetrate the inner chamber only on the shortest days of the year, creating one of humanity's oldest astronomical calendars.
