The following video and information was produced using AI. Please verify information before taking it as truth.
An interesting fact about Ireland is that it is home to Newgrange, a prehistoric monument older than both Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. Built around 3200 BCE, Newgrange is a massive circular tomb with a stone passageway and chambers inside. Its most fascinating feature is its alignment with the winter solstice: every year, sunlight shines through a small roofbox above the entrance and illuminates the inner chamber at sunrise on the shortest days of the year.
