New evidence from Irelandโ€™s Newgrange tomb suggests that Neolithic society was more egalitarian than previously believed, challenging theories of an incestuous ruling elite.

For #StandingStoneSunday here is a shot of the Hill of Tara. Taken on the same day / trip as the #Newgrange shots posted over the last few months. Gosh it was wet and windy up there that day. I was especially happy to get there as itโ€™s mentioned in the first #ArtemisFowl book by Mr C. Follow for more stones. #ireland #HillofTara #neolithic

Hereโ€™s some smashing spirals for this weekโ€™s #StandingStoneSunday at #Newgrange in #Ireland. Amazing to see them up close during our visit. A glimpse back into the minds of people creating art thousands of years ago.

Two more #Newgrange shots from the 2019 vault. One far, one not so far. Just was talking to child#1 about our visit. She was 11 then but remembers it well. It was a great trip. I was talking about our graphic novel, Illegal at the Dublin Book Festival and we added on a few days and fulfilled the ambition of seeing Newgrange. We both want to return. #StandingStoneSunday #neolithic #ireland

A few more #Newgrange shots for #StandingStoneSunday You can see the two standing stones in the first closer shot, again in the more distant photo. Fab memories of a visit to an amazing place. Iโ€™m enjoying all the standing stone photos on here. #neolithic #ireland

For #StandingStoneSunday hereโ€™s another two shots of the amazing #Newgrange. The first is a relative close up of the side of the 5200 year old #neolithic building in Irelandโ€™s Boyne Valley. The second is a more distinct view. These shots are from a cloudy winter day a few years ago. I canโ€™t wait to go back. (Even if it was blooming cold.)

Entrance way to #Newgrange for #StandingStoneSunday from a visit a few years ago. Build around 3200BC making it older than both Stonehenge and the pyramids. #ireland #neolithic
