Brú na Bóinne is a Gaelic name, and translates as Palace of Bóinne
All monuments were built along the river Bóinne ... hence the name.

Well, we are lost!
Hey guys from Get Inside, we're here in Newgrange at this prehistoric monument
that's older than the Egyptian Pyramids, it was built 3200 BC.
This monument is more than five hundred years older than the pyramids
and there are more than forty tombs, and when there is a winter solstice, the sunbeans hit the main chamber
and are spreaded throughout the building
Just to give you an idea, there's a wating list of more than 15 years
Let's check it out ...Get Inside!
The only entrance leads to a narrow corridor, which ends in a small camera in the shape of a cross
the place was used to deposit the ashes of the dead, usually cremated in antiquity.
Inside the tomb there are several symbols on the rocks it is impossible to define the meaning of them
but it is believed that there is a religious sense for those who built the monument.
At the end of the sixties, one historian found that the structures of the stones
were designed following astronomical studies
only in the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year
the sunlight enters through this opening and illuminates the entire corridor for exact seventeen minutes.
The phenomenon has been interpreted in two ways.
According to the first it would have been created to tell the time, since solstice indicate the beginning of a new year.
The other explanation is that the opening at the entrance of the tomb
would allow sunlight to come and get the soul of the dead who were there as a sign of rebirth.
