I discovered this on the morning at the 2012 Winter Solstice at
Newgrange in 2012. I took a photo of a picture of kerb stone 15 at the visitor centre later in the day. I had been seeking a link between Egypt and Ireland for another purpose and have since confirmed my intuition.
I am interested to speak with any authentic, interested, trustworthy persons.
Look forward to hearing from serious people with an interest in this subject.

Houses of the Gods by Kate Prendergast by Andy B on Monday, 27 November 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
The product of over twenty years of research, Houses of the Gods presents an exciting new synthesis of the evidence for astronomy across the Neolithic monumental sequences of Ireland and Britain.

This book argues that all societies, from the hunter-gatherers of the Upper Palaeolithic to our current technologically-driven cultures, require sufficiently accurate forms of time-keeping. Where these have not been available, it has resulted in significant challenges relating to the coordination and synchronization of social or collective behaviour.

Monuments like Newgrange and Stonehenge are ‘jewels in the crown’ among British and Irish prehistoric megalithic observatories. While debate continues about the intentions of the builders of these monuments, few now would question that a fundamental interest in astronomy is evident at these sites.

Work by archaeologists, surveyors and archaeo-astronomers has revealed datasets that demonstrate a widely-shared interest in astronomy that was integral to the knowledge and practice of the Neolithic people who built and used them.

Knowth passage-grave in Ireland: An instrument of precision astronomy? by Andy B on Saturday, 25 November 2017
(User Info | Send a Message)
Knowth passage-grave in Ireland: An instrument of precision astronomy? - Kate Prendergast University of Oxford

Knowth is one of three large monuments at the Neolithic complex in the bend of the River Boyne in County Meath, Ireland. The others are Newgrange and Dowth.

All three have obvious solar alignments but whereas the alignment tothe winter solstice sunrise at Newgrange has been extensively researched and interpreted, little has been attempted regarding the way that astronomy functions at Knowth and Dowth. This paper treats the evidence for solar and lunar alignments at Knowth.

Knowth has two internal passages with entrances at the east and west. The paper draws on new surveys as well as interpretations of the evidence at Knowth that includes rock art engraved on kerbstones around the circumference. Particular engravings on kerbstone K52 are interpreted as depicting astronomical cycles. It is argued that, while Knowth’s passages function in relation to the equinoxes, they are not internally orientated to match exactly the equinoctial directions.

Rather, it seems that they may have been constructed and used to facilitate the harmonisation of the solar and lunar cycles-much in the same way as does the equinoctial Judeo-Christian festival of Easter. The paper concludes by suggesting that like Newgrange,Knowth may be an astronomical instrument that enabledits builders and users to construct accurate calendars and counting systems, which in turn facilitated calculated planning and was a fundamental structuring principle for their ritual lives and cosmological beliefs.

Little and large: the miniature 'carved stone ball' beads from Knowth by Andy B on Wednesday, 07 October 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
Little and large: the miniature 'carved stone ball' beads from the eastern passage tomb under the main mound at Knowth, Ireland, and their broader significance, by Alison Sheridan (2014)

The realisation that two small beads that were found in the eastern passage tomb under Mound 1 at Knowth in the Boyne Valley, County Meath, Ireland are miniature versions of Scottish carved stone balls has provided important new evidence for links between the elites of Ireland and Orkney around 3000 BC. These beads form part of a range of jewellery found in Irish passage tombs that constitutes miniature versions of exotic, ‘socially valorised’ objects. The broader significance of the ‘carved stone ball’ beads, and
of the ‘miniaturisation’ phenomenon, is discussed.

The particular value of the discovery that, at Knowth, people were being buried with beads in the form of miniature Scottish carved stone balls is that we are now able to
refine the chronology for the use of the full-sized versions in Britain. It also provides one more vivid piece of evidence for Irish–Orcadian elite interaction around 3000 BC

Alignment of the Western and Eastern Passage Tombs at Knowth Tomb 1
by
Frank Prendergast, Dublin Institute of Technology
Tom Ray, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies

This report presents a summary account of two surveys undertaken by the authors to determine and interpret the alignments of the western and eastern passage tombs at Knowth, Co. Meath. The findings indicate that contrary to earlier suggestions, the eastern passage and the western passage (inner and outer) are not aligned towards sunrise and sunset respectively at the period of the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

Neolithic Shamanism? by Andy B on Thursday, 15 May 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
Ffion Reynolds writes: I’ve been studying the Neolithic period now for more than 8 years, and I really do think that we can observe shamanic attributes in their way of life, from monument building to daily life. In this post I will explore the Neolithic site of Knowth in Ireland. The aim is to show you how shamanism can be a near-universal framework which can be used successfully to identify the engraved art of the Boyne Valley passage tombs in Ireland - dating to around 5000 years ago – as shamanic interpretations of entoptic visual experience induced by altered states of consciousness.

Finely carved spiral and large oval subsurface features found at Knowth by Andy B on Friday, 09 December 2011
(User Info | Send a Message)
Excavations unearth new features from Neolithic period

New and exciting archaeological finds have been made at the Knowth tumulus over the last few months, according to archaeologists working on the site.

The passage tomb cemetery at Brú na Binne has produced some extraordinary discoveries over the decades ever since Professor George Eogan made his first tentative exploration in and around the site.

A number of previously unknown large-scale monuments in the field lying immediately to the south-east of the large mound have recently come to light.

A programme of detailed non-invasive topographical, electrical resistance and magnetometer surveys conducted by Joe Fenwick of the archaeology department of NUI Galway, in collaboration with Professor George Eogan, has revealed a complexity of sub-surface wall-footings, earth-filled ditches and post-pits. This research confirms that the archaeological footprint of Knowth extends over a far greater area than previously thought.

The nature, date and function of these 'hidden' monuments has yet to be fully assessed but it is likely these features represent a succession of overlapping periods of human occupation, building and rebuilding over the course of several thousand years - from the early Neolithic up to the present day.

Two features are particularly apparent in the magnetometer image, a large double-ringed oval measuring 65m across its minor axis and a sub-rectangular ditched enclosure with internal features measuring over 70m in maximum dimension.

Perhaps the most remarkable discovery, however, is a stone which bears a finely carved spiral in the megalithic tradition on one of its surfaces - undoubtedly a structural stone from one of the nearby small passage tombs.

    From the images shown, it looks as though this technique will pick up more than we can with the naked eye as that depends on angle of light etc. It will be interesting to see what it shows at more sites.
    I can't help wondering if it's a 21st century version of brass rubbing ;-)

Secrets from the grave by Anonymous on Friday, 28 November 2008
Secrets from the grave

Nearly 50 years ago, archaeologists began excavating at Knowth near Newgrange - and the site has yet to give up all its secrets, writes Claire O'Connell

'THE FIRST DAY WE went in, we went up the passage. When we got in towards the end, the passage became difficult, but there seemed to be a void at the top and I crawled up with a flashlight and walked until I came to the end of the passage. I flashed the lamp around and saw this massive void. I flashed the lamp upwards and I could see a massive roof, which was nearly 20 feet in height.

"In my great excitement I jumped down six or seven feet, and to my amazement I found that what I had jumped into was a massive cruciform chamber. There was an astonishing amount of art and a magnificent stone basin in the right-hand recess."

Forty years ago, the bearer of the flashlight, archaeologist George Eogan, became the first person in centuries to see the underground passage tomb at Knowth in Meath, part of Brú na Bóinne (Bend of the Boyne), now a Unesco World Heritage site.

A year earlier, in 1967, the Knowth excavation had uncovered a smaller underground passage leading in from the western face of the megalithic mound, but this larger east-side tomb surpassed it, recalls Eogan, a professor of archaeology at University College Dublin.

"The western tomb was stunning but the east one was huge," he says. "I was always so impressed with Newgrange, I thought there could never be another one, and then to discover something somewhat bigger than Newgrange, this long passage. And it's a tribute to the builders that we were were able to enter both tombs on the moment of discovery. Here we were going into these tombs which were 5,000 years old and it was possible for us to enter."

Knowth's charms had lain undiscovered for hundreds of years before excavations started on the site 46 years ago, with Eogan present. The fourth volume in a series of books on the dig's findings is published by the Royal Irish Academy later this month. "We started at Knowth in 1962 and we have been there ever since," he says, detailing how the project has uncovered 18 satellite tombs around the great mound as well as unusual findings, such as a decorative flint macehead and a series of eight-century inscriptions within the passages and chambers (see panel).

But some of the findings pre-date all of that, explains Eogan. "We found evidence of pottery, houses and flint artefacts from a pre-passage-tomb stage of early Neolithic settlement around 4000 BC," he says. "Then around 3000 BC there was an important transformation and the early Neolithic was replaced by the passage-tomb societies and they built their spectacular monuments."

The original mound at Knowth was ringed by a series of kerbstones, slabs of "greywacke" rock that was probably sourced and transported from several miles away, says Eogan. "I believe the passage-tomb society must have been very well organised, otherwise they simply could not have built those very large tombs." But what really sets the stones apart is the art they bear, a series of angular and spiral inscriptions. "The art is fantastic. Knowth has the largest collection of megalithic art known," says Eogan. "I believe a lot of the art, maybe all of it, was done on site. Sometimes it stops at ground level so I believe the stones had already been erected before the art was applied." And while it might be nice to look at, Eogan believes the art served more specific purposes too, marking rites of burial or celebration. "I believe some of it could be commemorative, it does occur within the tombs, like headstones. In addition I believe the kerb was a processional way, that people could walk around," he says, pointing out marks that could have served as signposts of sorts.

The art has survived millennia that saw great changes at Knowth. The site underwent a revamp around the eighth century AD when it became a protected settlement
