Despite the accepted fact that Newgrange is one of the most advanced Neolithic constructions designed and built to manage the rays of the sun, many writers persist with the 300 year old classification that Newgrange is merely a passage grave, or burial tomb.
In Newgrange, temple of life, Chris O'Callaghan challenges that claim, proposing that this commonly coined 'passage grave' description seriously misrepresents what the leaders, astronomers, architects, engineers, artists, builders and hundreds of workers achieved on the Newgrange ridge over 5,000 years ago.

The excitement I felt when I first entered the massive monument convinced me that the life forces that the Boyne Valley People harnessed 5000 years ago, to give birth to each New Year, still manifest within the passage and end chamber.
The easy to read re-interpretation of the evidence does not require specialist knowledge to be understood and enjoyed.
Chris O'Callaghan was born in Salisbury, Rhodesia, now Harare, Zimbabwe.
After many years in Media and marketing, he and his wife, the artist Barbara Barrett, left southern Africa to settle in the peaceful Irish countryside. Here, the length and richness of Irish history persuaded Chris to turn to writing.
