Winter Solstice Awakens Ireland's Prehistoric Newgrange Tomb
NEWGRANGE, IRELAND - DECEMBER 21: A rainbow appears in the sky as people take part in a sunrise ceremony during the Winter Solstice at Newgrange on December 21, 2023 in Newgrange, Ireland. Newgrange, a 5,200-year-old passage tomb, stands as the focal point of Ireland's Ancient East, predating both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. Built to mark the new year, during the Winter Solstice sunrise, direct sunlight enters the monument through a small opening called the 'roof box,' illuminating the chamber for 17 minutes.
