Today the family went to Newgrange. To be quite honest nobody knows what Newgrange is. They don't know who built it because there is absolutely no writing anywhere to explain anything. There are just swirly patterns on rocks and triangles above the door. Newgrange is 500 years older than the pyramids of Giza. That makes it about 5,000 years old. Every winter solstice the sun comes in through an opening above the door and lights up the inner chamber for 17 minutes. To get to the inner chamber you walk bent over in a low tunnel. If you're claustrophobic don't go inside, just enjoy the view.
