My daughter and I were at Newgrange some years ago and it's a powerful place still. It's amazing the depth of knowledge of astronomy and geometry and mathamatics that the old ones had to construct the site.( and no computers or calculators to help them!!)

This is so exciting and I love the fact that it is a co-plan with the two countries of my parent's heritage working together! I watched the wonderful series on our PBS called "Secrets of the Stones" that went into the history of Newgrange and to learn that it is older than both the Pyramids in Egypt and Stonehenge in England was quite thrilling. Also to be able to use modern technology that will not cause any damage, makes me wish I could have studied to be a scientist. Hope some day to see for myself and the icing would be to be there on December 21!
