THE COMING OF THE LIGHTS: The clouds did their best to ruin tonight's spectacular display of Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) over Síd in Broga (Newgrange), but they could not completely obscure the brilliance and beauty!

K52 is situated on the northside of the tomb directly opposite K1 the entrance stone. Light and shadow plays a very important role in relation to the art as this short video demonstrates. 📹 John #boynevalley #keepdiscovering #newgrange #knowth

Popped up in the memories, taken at sunset at Newgrange, Ireland, on this day in 2005 on an early tech, potato quality, digital camera. Not sure I've ever taken a better photo though haha

Think spirals are only found at Newgrange, Ireland. Think again! They are found all over Europe where the Neolithic farmers settled. They range in date from 5500 BCE to 550 CE. The image is the 4000 BCE Cucuteni–Trypillia Pot.

The most recent is the amazing Gold Medallion from the recently found Vindelev Viking hoard in Denmark which also shows letters transitioning from Alphabetic Akkadian to runes. More at: https://www.druidwisdom.org/ancient-druid-history/druid-spiralsvortices-and-nets-4000

A day late, but happy winter solstice. I'd love to be fortunate enough to someday see the solstice at Newgrange.

For those curious, https://www.irishcentral.com/roots/history/newgrange-winter-solstice offers a primer from IrishCentral, while you can view last year's solstice at Newgrange at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U836yG-eWNk

There are actually two lotteries involved. The first deals with getting a ticket. The second one concerns the weather, and getting a dawn that isn't obscured by clouds. 🙂

Don't wait to win the solstice lottery to visit Brú na Bóinne - it's an amazing place at any time of the year!

Happy Solstice! #Newgrange is famously aligned with the Winter Solstice but the early Irish linked it with Samain (1 November) & named it Brug na Bóinne (palace of the Boyne); the 'letterbox' would not have been visible to them

Here we are again in our journey around the sun - at the #WinterSolstice (if you're in the Northern hemisphere). The #ShortestDay. #Yule. #Hanukkah. #MidwinterDay. Alban Arthan. Mummer's Day. Sol Invictus. It's a turning point in the #WheeloftheYear.

And now the light returns! 🙏🌞

@psneeze @Irishphilosophy #OPW have successfully livestreamed #solstice from #Newgrange before, but for some reason decided not to do so this year

@clickhere @TG4TV Could it have crashed because people logged in from around the world to see the #solstice #livestream from #Newgrange? https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41033102.html

"Live coverage" doesn't appear to mean "including inside the chamber as the sun rises". Nice pre-recorded segment on the chamber and gorgeous wolfhounds though. #Newgrange
