@bigeeezy .Newgrange is far older than the Minoan culture; it dates from the neolithic (3300 BC).The Minoan culture was bronze age. If you wanted to pick out similarities, it is closer to the Maltese temples (megalithic and with spiral patterns too), but in real architectural terms it is closest of all to the megalithic tombs of Iberia,although they are not as large and sophisticated.

@Fultron .Sorry, I think this is disrespecting the ancestors! Of course men built it; their remains were inside the chambers.Why would aliens just want to move some large stones? Why would they use stones at all and not metal or whatever their spaceships were made out of? It's the same as at Stonehenge,where some stones were brought well over 100 miles.It was a dedicatory act, meant to please the ancestors.spirits/gods.

I have been there twice... Stood in the central chamber & was able to explore it's beauty... I also log-rolled down the hill behind it... ;-)

This is like the star fox adventures game, at the lightfoot level at the end you go in a chamber like this.
