I noticed in “National Geographic” a few months ago, that there is another “Henge” at least as old as Stonehenge on one of the Hebrides.

We visited Newgrange in 2003. It’s an amazing structure: watertight (like the Gallarus Oratory in the SW corner of Ireland, which is between 12 and 15 centuries old). I have pictures of both, but not with me at the moment.

We went to Newgrange in 1993. Well worth a side trip if you’re anywhere remotely near. Gave me profound chills (mental, not physical, though it was a tad cool down there) to be in such an ancient place. We were there in the winter, so there were no other tourists to speak of. You could hear a pin drop.

Thanks decimon. Great topics! I added Newgrange to the keywords, because I've seen other topics about the site, which is very ancient.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

The book “Uriel’s Machine”, by Christopher Knight and Robert Lomas, has (among other things)an excellent exposition of how and why Newgrange was built. One of the best books I have read; I highly recommend it.
