The illumination of the passage and chamber at the Winter solstice sunrise in Newgrange is world famous. Less well known is the Equinox illumination at sunrise in Cairn T at Loughcrew. The backstone of the chamber is illuminated by a beam of light at sunrise on the Spring and Autumnal Equinoxes. For more information click on http://www.knowth.com/loughcrew.htm

  • Michaels your videos allow us to touch the lives of our ancestors and their world for just a few minutes however far away we maybe from the sacred sites of our forebears. Thank you :)

  • Well put together video on the vernal equinox at cairn T. Music is very fitting and moving too.

    Well done!

  • Brilliant video, I visited here this summer and wondered what that would look like, to see the sun move across the symbols- thank you for your concise and fantastic video !

  • ……. Thank you, knowthyt, for this upload. Thank YOU, young Magus, for the heads-up it's here. When I visitted Newgrange I wish I'd've known about Loughcrew as well. Incredible structures. Funnily enough, 'we' were supposedly wearing animal skins & living in primitive structures when these enigmatic observatories were tracking the movement of the seasons, the sun, the moon, the stars, & the planets. Who REALLY built them? ~ (•8-o

  • Grüße aus der Oberlausitz!

  • I agree, 4stinkydogs100, about the singer! You sound like you're a pro at music, and I'm glad that some one agrees with me.

    I LOVE the pics! Ireland is really a magical place!

  • Yeah! Seriously, the singer SUCKS!

  • Video is interesting, but vocalist needs to be fired - unless you meant for it to be accompanied by a goat singing flat! LOL!!!

    Uilleann's were cool sounding. Real Celtic scholars would have your neck though: Using Uilleann pipes to make something sound "old" doesn't work - they weren't invented until the 1700's!!! All in all good pics!
