You are invited to an online lecture on Thursday October 30th at 7.00 pm (Greek time)/ 5.00 pm (Irish time) / 12.00 (EST) by Dr Claire Cave, on “Passing the Time at Ireland's Ancient Monuments”.

Abstract: There are places in Ireland where you can travel back in time. At some wonderful prehistoric sites, you can share an experience with people who lived over 5000 years ago. You can stand in the same place as our ancient ancestors stood and wait for the same event to happen. If you are inside the burial chambers of Newgrange or Dowth on the shortest days of the year at winter solstice, you can see sunlight enter the dark tombs just as it was planned by those who built the monuments all those millennia ago. If you climb to the top of Carnbane East at Loughcrew to see equinox sunrise at Cairn T, you are repeating the journey of neolithic pilgrims. In this presentation, Clare Tuffy talks about her many years of being at Newgrange for sunrise and Dowth for sunset at winter solstice and Loughcrewat equinox time. She shares what it’s really like to be there and how visitors from all over the world react to these wonderful monuments.
