Summary
[edit]DescriptionNewgrange Entrance Stone - Flickr - Qole Pejorian.jpg |
The stone (placed at some ancient date) in front of the entrance to the 5200 year old neolithic tomb/temple now called "Newgrange", by the Boyne River in Ireland. The tomb was built 500 years before the Egyptian pyramids. This is "one of the most famous stones in the entire repertory of megalithic art", and one of the oldest examples of the "triskelion" design of three (actually six) spirals connected. Taken on a crappy, rainy day. I enhanced the contrast to really reveal the carvings. This is actually three photos joined together with autostitch. |
