Newgrange Lesson

I find Newgrange more fascinating than Stonehenge for a couple of reasons. First is Newgrange's clarity of purpose, and second is the solstice. For my lesson I discuss the solstice cycle and its impact on human culture, and through this discussion the reasons for the construction of Newgrange.
