In the Bru na Boinne (Valley of the Boyne river), County Meath, Ireland there is a fascinating structure of mystery and myth called Newgrange. The current best guess places its construction 5,200 years ago to 3,200 BC. This dates the structure to a time before the building of Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid at Giza. The age of this "monument" makes it one of the most important archaeological finds in Europe. But who built it and why? Is it a burial site or a religious temple? These are the main questions surrounding Newgrange, also known as the Cave of the Sun.
