The ancient astronomers of the Boyne valley .Aliens or farmers

there a connection between the Egyptians , Aztecks and Celts . Many of our newly founded theories now suggest there is strong evidence in the Boyne valley that this was the centre of astronomy in the world and many of the monuments we have here are more than just burial tombs but ancient clocks or callenders to predict disasters , stellar events famine and even war,
Today we meet at Drogheda and car pool to 4 knocks , Dowth Slane and Tara to look at the legends if they are true or are they fact or fiction . While it is true that most Irish myths and sagas were written down by Christian monks in the Middle Ages, some of the myths about Brú na Bóinne appear to refer to the astronomical function of the great mounds.
The story about Dowth, for instance, suggests that a total eclipse of the sun occurred while it was being built, and there are carvings on one of its kerbstones that look like depictions of a solar eclipse.
At Newgrange (anciently known as Síd in Broga or Síd Mac ind Oc), one story portrays the arrival of the sun deity, Dagda, into the mound at a time when he has made the sun stand still in the sky – a reference, I think, to the winter solstice when the daily movement of the sun along the horizon is seen to halt for a number of days.
There is a reference too to the deity Eithne (another name for Bóinn) coming into Newgrange in the guise of a dog, and the astronomer in me wonders if this is maybe a reference to the fact that Sirius would have been visible to an observer prostrate in the chamber of Newgrange over 5,000 years ago.
Without time travel, it may never be possible to fully test these claims, but the remnants of stones and stories that have come down to us from a hoary age of the past certainly give us cause to ponder on the achievements of those Neolithic farmer-astronomers who lived in the Boyne Valley more than 5,000 years ago.

Are you up for a fun day with craic and a chance to look at our history in a fun a interesting way
