Wikipedia describes Newgrange as
One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, and indeed the most famous of all Irish prehistoric sites. Newgrange was built in such a way that at dawn on the shortest day of the year, the winter solstice, a narrow beam of sunlight for a very short time illuminates the floor of the chamber at the end of the long passageway.

After visiting Newgrange, Chris got a tattoo of the pattern on the stone in front :)
Cool. We were really amazed with Newgrange. It is interesting how little these Irish tombs are talked about when it is older than Stonehenge and the pyramids. I had never heard of it before going to Ireland.
